MCA Official statement on Prithvi Shaw
MCA official revealed that Shaw's fitness issues were so significant during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy that the team was "forced to hide" him on the field. While speaking to PTI he said, "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,"
He added,"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," he claimed. Even the seniors in the team have started complaining about his attitude now. I'll tell you one thing. No one is Shaw's enemy. He is his own enemy"
Prithvi Shaw's career so far
Shaw broke into the scene amid a lot of hype, making his Test debut in 2018 as an 18-year-old in a home series against the West Indies. His lone century in the format was on that exciting debut but since then, he has appeared in just four more Tests, the last of these being against Australia four years ago.
His ODI and T20 International career has also failed to take off and he hasn't played any white-ball cricket for India since 2021. Durign the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament, Shaw only scored 197 runs in 7 games failing to meet the standards required of an opener.
