Bristol: Continuing his dream comeback in red-ball cricket, promising all-rounder Musheer Khan followed up his century (123) on Day One with a haul of six for 31 in 8.2 overs with his left-arm spin on Day Two for the MCA Colts in their tour opener against Notts 2nd XI at the John Fretwell Sports Complex, Welbeck CC, on Tuesday.Musheer’s fabulous spell helped the MCA Colts skittle out Notts 2nd XI for just 201 in 42.2 overs and gain a massive 247-run first innings lead. Earlier, the visitors, riding on centuries by Musheer and Manan Bhatt, finished at 448 .A promising allrounder, Musheer was playing his first competitive red-ball match after surviving a horrific car crash in September last year. It is the 20-year-old’s first appearance in Mumbai colours since his serious neck injury in that accident. The Mumbai youngster last played a red-ball match for India B against India D in the Duleep Trophy at Anantapur, and was poised to tour Australia with the India A team before he met with an accident that ruled him out for the rest of the domestic season.
The 20-year-old Musheer played for Punjab Kings in IPL-2025, and has represented Mumbai in first-class cricket, becoming the youngest Mumbai batter to score a hundred in a Ranji Trophy final last year in March against Vidarbha at the Wankhede Stadium.
