Musheer Khan set to join India A squad for Australia tour after Duleep Trophy heroics

Musheer Khan, the young Mumbai batter, is reaping the rewards of his outstanding performances in domestic cricket. After a stellar display in the Duleep Trophy, he is expected to be named in the India A squad for their upcoming tour to Australia. Musheer’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric, with his first-class debut in 2022 followed by standout performances in the U19 World Cup.

Musheer’s century in the Duleep Trophy opener and his consistent performances have caught the attention of the selectors. With three centuries and seven fifties from just seven first-class matches, Musheer is emerging as a key talent for India’s future. His inclusion in the India A squad highlights the selectors’ intention to fast-track his growth.

Not only does Musheer’s batting shine, but his all-round abilities give him an edge, offering both batting and bowling strength—something that could work in his favor as he continues to follow in the footsteps of his elder brother, Sarfaraz Khan. The cricket world now waits to see when Musheer will make his debut for the Indian Test team.
