In a significant development, Mumbai’s star batter Musheer Khan struck a magnificent century against Nottinghamshire Second XI during the Mumbai Emerging team’s tour of England. It was a statement knock from the 20-year-old as he made his first appearance in Mumbai colors since his serious neck injury last year.
Musheer Khan Continues To Build His Run-Machine Status For Mumbai
The young prodigy had previously made headlines with a brilliant century in the Duleep Trophy at the Chinnaswamy Stadium last season, showcasing his immense potential and temperament in red-ball cricket. An important domestic match awaited him, potentially propelling him closer to his dream of playing for India.
However, just before the start of the domestic calendar, Musheer was involved in an unfortunate accident that led to a neck injury, forcing him out of action for Mumbai for several months. After completing his recovery, he made his comeback from the setback, playing for Punjab Kings in the recently concluded IPL 2025 season
Now, donning the Mumbai jersey once again, Musheer has announced his comeback in emphatic fashion with a century in the very first match of Mumbai’s Emerging team’s tour of England. The innings not only reflected his technical prowess but also his mental resilience after a testing period off the field.
A Timely Boost for Mumbai's Domestic Season
With the domestic season kicking off in August, his timely return and form boosts Mumbai's batting strength and adds a familiar spark to their setup. For Musheer, this isn't just a comeback it is a continuation of the promise he showed before injury struck.
Mumbai cricket will be watching closely, and so will the rest of India’s domestic circuit. And not just for Mumbai the way Musheer batted at No. 3 last year showed there is a serious India prospect in him waiting to flourish.
