Mumbai batter Musheer Khan who met with an accident on Friday, said he was doing fine in a video message on Sunday.
“First of all I want to thank almighty Allah for granting me a new life. I’m fine as of now, and abbu [father] was with me [in the crash], and he’s fine too. I just want to thank all of you for your blessings,” the 19-year-old said in a video posted on his Instagram handle.
“First of all, I thank god for granting us this new life, and thank all the people who prayed for us, all our well-wishers, fans, our relatives. I also want to thank the MCA [Mumbai Cricket Association] and the BCCI who are taking full care of Musheer, and they will give you whatever updates there are in the future. I just want to say, one needs to persevere to get what one couldn’t, and to be grateful for what one has got. This is life,” his father Naushad said.
Musheer, who is the brother of India batter Sarfaraz Khan, will be out of action for up to four months after the SUV in which he was travelling met with a road accident on Friday afternoon. The teenager, who suffered a fracture in the ‘neck region’ will miss the upcoming Irani Cup — between Mumbai and Rest of India — starting in Lucknow from Tuesday and the initial rounds of this season’s Ranji Trophy.
Musheer was traveling from Azamgarh to Lucknow with Naushad when the car hit a divider and overturned on the Purvanchal Expressway.
Musheer had scored a valiant hundred in the Duleep Trophy held recently. He is a younger brother of India cricketer Sarfaraz Khan.
