Who is Musheer Khan?
Musheer Khan is the younger brother of Sarfaraz Khan who plays U-19 cricket and is currently representing the country at the ICC U-19 World Cup. The 18-year-old is seven years younger than his brother Sarfaraz.
Talking about his elder brother, Sarfaraz Naushad Khan is engaged in both the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Delhi Caps and the Ranji Trophy with Mumbai. In both 2014 and 2016, he played for India in the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. He may also be found occasionally taking wickets, bowling part-time, and hitting right-handed.
The young cricket player is an all-rounder who bowls left-arm orthodoxly and bats right-hand in the top order. In a group-stage game against Ireland at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, the 18-year-old batter scored a 108-ball 119.
After making his debut on the road against Saurashtra, Khan was able to appear in three Mumbai matches during the season. He made a lasting impression for Mumbai in the U-19 Vinoo Mankad Trophy, finishing fourth in the run score category with 438 runs and claiming the most wickets with 22.
He then made his debut for India A in a four-nation ODI series, getting 2/53 and making a 47-ball 127 to help India win. In the lead-up to the ICC U-19 World Cup 2024, the No. 3 position batter for India, a vital member of the current U-19 squad, scored two half-centuries.
His father ather Naushad Khan gave credit to Mumbai’s khadoos cricket in both sons’ journeys and said Sarfaraz will get his India cap soon. Naushad Khan was flooded with congratulatory messages and calls the moment he switched on his phone after landing in Mumbai after his sons’ centuries.
Musheer Khan opened with Prithvi Shaw against Assam. His brother Sarfaraz also figures in the XI. Many years ago Musheer played a match where he took Yuvraj Singh's wicket.
