We were playing with 10 fielders and were forced to hide Prithvi Shaw, MCA official

Prithvi Shaw, India’s top batsman, was left out of Mumbai’s Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, which suggests that he has been playing some of his worst cricket lately. The young player has been concerned about his recent poor form and ongoing fitness issues.

Shaw was regarded as one of the upcoming big stars in cricket at one point. The 25-year-old’s current circumstances, however, have not been good since he was dropped from the Mumbai team and went unsold at the auction. His fitness problems and lack of discipline towards the game and the team’s senior players have been brought to light in a number of reports. It has also been revealed that an MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association) official recently made remarks against the U19 World Cup-winning captain.

We had to conceal Prithvi Shaw while playing with ten fielders in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

According to NDTV, a senior MCA official stated, “He would hardly be able to reach the ball as it passed close to him.”

We could see he was having problems reaching for the ball even when he was hitting. It’s really straightforward; there can’t be various rules for different players, and his attitude, discipline, and level of fitness are all lacking. Now, even the team’s elders are grumbling about his attitude,” the source continued.

In relation to Shaw’s rejection of Vijay Hazare, the Mumbai batsman, who will not play in the top 50-over domestic league, has some incredible List A records. In his 65 games, the batter has amassed 3399 runs at an incredible average of 55.72. His final VHT season in 2022, however, was lacklustre as he averaged just 31 runs, including a few half-centuries, and only managed 217 runs from his 7 games.
