The 10-year-old yesterday received a sponsorship by Dubai-based businessman Shyam Bhatia’s ‘Cricket for Care’ organisation that will take care of his 15-day exposure trip starting August 3. Bhatia had also sponsored a similar trip for Sarfaraz in 2009. Besides playing, Musheer will be trained by Level 3 coaches, one of them being former India pacer TA Sekar.

“Musheer is a bright prospect and we will take care of his trip expenses. He will train under the best coaches and also play some matches, one of the venues being Lord’s.

The exposure camp will be held at the Epsom College in Surrey,” said Bhatia during the announcement.
