ICC Men's U19 WC: Process-driven Musheer Khan Is Living In The Moment Ahead Of Semis Clash
Musheer is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament, and with a semifinal against South Africa on Tuesday looming, has a chance to further cement his name alongside other luminaries of Indian cricket who walked the same path. One of those was Sarfaraz Khan, Musheer’s older brother, who played two editions of this tournament -– in 2014 and 2016 -– and was recently called up to the Indian Test squad for the series against England.
Sarfaraz’s journey hasn’t been without its struggles, and in being able to pick the brains of someone who has done this before, Musheer feels privileged. He has learnt what he could while closely observing his brother’s career. His elder sibling is not just a source of inspiration now, but also a confidante. “The first thing he told me was that there is no bigger pride than playing for India,” Musheer told ICC when asked about his brother’s influence. “He told me to enjoy myself on the field and whenever I get a chance – be it with the bat or ball – you have to pull the team up in any situation and win the game.
