When Mumbai all-rounder Musheer Khan, 18, first went to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 10 years ago, he was excited to see his elder brother Sarfaraz Khan representing the country in the U-19 Asia Cup. Now, the top-order batsman and left-arm spinner can’t wait to wear the same India jersey in the U-19 Asia Cup starting on December 8 in Dubai.

“Getting an opportunity to represent my country is great. I am very happy and can’t express my feelings in words. I just want to carry forward my performance. I will try to give my best in the Asia Cup. I don’t want to look back from here. A lot of people have helped me to reach this stage. My Abbu [dad and coach Naushad] worked really hard for me and Mumbai Cricket Association also helped immensely,” Musheer told mid-day from Vijayawada on Sunday.
