Musheer Khan is thankful he got “a new life” after a car accident

Mumbai cricketer Musheer Khan took to Instagram to update everyone about his condition after leading a new life following a car accident on the outskirts of Lucknow.

The 19-year-old is expected to be out of action due to neck injuries sustained in the accident earlier this week, which effectively rules him out of Mumbai’s matches at the start of the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season from October 11.

“First of all, I would like to thank Almighty Allah for giving me a new life. I’m fine at the moment, and Abbu [father] was with me [in the crash]and he’s fine too. I just want to thank you all for your blessings,” Musheer said in a video post.

Musheer, the brother of Indian batsman Sarfaraz, was traveling from Azamgarh to Lucknow to join the Mumbai team in the Irani Cup match against the rest of India from October 1 when he was involved in an accident.

Medanta Hospital in Lucknow issued a statement saying that the 19-year-old was admitted late on September 27 with pain in his neck. The bulletin also said that the Mumbai bombing was out of danger.

The Mumbai Cricket Association had released an official statement on the injured cricketer. “Musheer is currently admitted to a hospital in Lucknow where he remains stable, conscious and well oriented. He has suffered a fracture in the neck area and is under strict observation,” the official statement said.

“First of all, I thank God for giving us this new life and thank all the people who prayed for us, all our well-wishers, fans, our relatives,” said father Naushad Khan.

“I would also like to thank the MCA [Mumbai Cricket Association] and the BCCI who fully care about Musheer and will give you all the updates there are in the future.
