Prithvi Shaw was not included in Mumbai squad for Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025.
As per reports, Prithvi Shaw is expected to be excluded from the Mumbai squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy matches. He last participated in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) in December but was not included in the Vijay Hazare Trophy team.
He was labeled "his own enemy" after not being chosen, and an official claimed the team was "forced to hide" him.
"In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, we were playing with 10 fielders as we were forced to hide Prithvi Shaw. The ball would pass near him and he would barely be able to get to it.
Even while batting, we could see he was troubled reaching to the ball. His fitness, discipline, and attitude are poor and it is pretty simple, there cannot be different rules for different players. Even the seniors in the team have started complaining about his attitude now," the unnamed official told news agency PTI.
Shaw has come under fire once more after being dropped for the first leg of the Ranji Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and now, it appear, the red-ball competition. He went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction as well.
On Tuesday he posted a selfie near the track and wrote in a post on Instagram, "You can take me out of the game!! But you can't stop me working... (wink emoji)".
