Musheer Khan, brother of India Test cricketer Sarfaraz, is set to be fast-tracked into the India A squad for the Australia tour later this year after his stunning century in the Duleep Trophy 2024 opener. Coming in at No.3 on his Duleep Trophy debut, Musheer showed immense resilience, scoring 181 runs and rescuing India B from 94/7 to a solid 321. The 19-year-old's stellar form, including a double ton in the Ranji quarter-final, has caught the eye of chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
Barring any fitness concerns, Musheer and Rajasthan's Manav Suthar are top contenders for the Australia tour. Musheer's handy left-arm spin and consistency under pressure could make him a key player for India A. As former wicketkeeper-batter Vijay Dahiya notes, “What makes Musheer different is his mindset, which is very strong.”
