Prithvi Shaw is constantly coming to the limelight in bold headlines for either reported on-field acts or off the field. The player has been out of the borders by the Indian team for a long duration. Shaw last played an international game in India where he has not been considered for batting in the XI across the formats for the last time July 2021. This is not it as Shaw also failed to keep his place in the Mumbai team, of late. The player now has no place in the side’s squad for Vijay Hazare Trophy, starting December 21.
Multiple reports have said that the form is not the only reason that cricketer Prithvi Shaw is regularly omitted from the team because fitness and behavior have also been two major concerns.
A recent PTI report said that during the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, it was revealed that Shaw had never been missing training “because he would come in at six in the morning” after being out for most of the night.
Once the claim went viral, Shaw came up with a cryptic Instagram Story. “If you can’t understand it fully, don’t speak on it at all.
“To many people have full opinions, half the facts. Friyay,” he wrote.
Commenting on the exclusion of Shaw from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) stated that the temperamental batter is “his own enemy” and has often breached the disciplinary rules.
According to an MCA senior official who spoke to PTI, the team had further “the misfortune” of having to hide at times during matches due to Shaw’s bad fitness, discipline, and attitude. After a few days, expressing his disappointment after not being selected in the 16-member list for the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Shaw posted on social media, which suddenly became viral and saw him as part of the team’s victorious Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy run.
In fact, Shaw had previously been left out of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad for October and was later assigned a specific fitness regimen to follow at the MCA Academy
