Muhammad Musa Khan (Khowar: محمد موسی خان, Urdu: محمد موسی خان; born 28 August 2000) is a Pakistani cricketer. He made his international debut for the Pakistan cricket team against Australia in November 2019.[2]

Early career

Musa was born in Islamabad but his family is originally from Chitral.[3]

He started his cricketing journey at the age of 16 in 2016 when he joined the Islamabad Gymkhana Cricket Club, before playing at Under-19 level. After performing in Regional U19s he'd eventually play for the National U19 squad in the 2017 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup in November 2017 and, later, in the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in January and February 2018.[4]

Domestic career

He made his List A debut for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited in the 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam One Day Cup on 16 October 2018.[5] Prior to his List A debut, he was named in Pakistan's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[6] He made his first-class debut for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited in the 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy on 7 November 2018.[7]

He made his Twenty20 debut for Islamabad United in the 2019 Pakistan Super League on 22 February 2019.[8] During the tournament, the "tall, broad-shouldered young man with green eyes and an eye-catching hairstyle" was noted for his pace (in the high 140s) but a lack of accuracy.[9]

In September 2019, he was named in Northern's squad for the 2019–20 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy tournament.[10][11]

International career

In December 2018, he was named in Pakistan's team for the 2018 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup.[12] In October 2019, he was named in Pakistan's Test and Twenty20 International (T20I) squads for their series against Australia.[13][14] He made his T20I debut for Pakistan, against Australia, on 8 November 2019.[15] He made his Test debut for Pakistan, also against Australia, on 29 November 2019.[16]

In June 2020, he was named as one of four reserve players for Pakistan's tour to England during the COVID-19 pandemic.[17] In October 2020, he was named in a 22-man squad of "probables" for Pakistan's home series against Zimbabwe.[18][19] On 29 October 2020, he was named in Pakistan's One Day International (ODI) squad for the first match against Zimbabwe.[20] He made his ODI debut for Pakistan, against Zimbabwe, on 1 November 2020.[21]
