Prithvi Shawexclusion of mumbai‘s squad for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 didn’t sit well with the batter and even raised a lot of eyebrows, but given his recent struggles with the bat in domestic competitions, it wasn’t a surprise that he got the nod.
The Mumbai batsman was dropped from the Ranji Trophy squad just two months ago and now his fate has not been any different as he has been shown the door again for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The young opener, who had been quiet amid all the chatter, finally broke his silence by pressing his chin.

Reacting to his release, Prithvi Shaw took to social media to publicly share the A-Lister’s stats on his Instagram story. He wrote: “Tell me God what else I have to do… If 65 innings, 3399 runs at 126 strike rate at 55.7 I’m not good enough… but I’ll keep my faith in you. , and I hope people still believe in me… because I will definitely be back. Om Sai Ram.”
Now the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has reacted to the whole situation as his career seems to be in darkness. Behind the scenes, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and the team management are not impressed with Prithvi Shaw’s fitness and discipline and these issues are holding him back.
His performance in the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 was poor, where Shaw failed to make an impact despite Mumbai winning the title. In nine innings, the 25-year-old failed to even reach 200 runs, averaged below 25 and consistently fell short when facing the new ball.

While his talent is well-recognised, the source emphasized that Shaw needs to focus on improving his training, discipline and overall performance.
He added that while the Indian hottie’s fitness issues are visible to all, her frame shows that she needs attention. MCA are hoping that he will address these areas and make a strong comeback as they believe he has the potential, but they need to put in the necessary work to make it happen.

Hindustan Times quoted an MCA source as saying, “Fitness is a concern, but performance is not at the moment. He needs to work on his preparation, discipline and performance. The main issue is fitness. You see the matches. You get the picture, right? Just by looking at his frame, his fitness issues are there for all to see. We hope he works on these issues and makes a strong comeback. We all know his talent. It is only about putting him in hard yards.”
Earlier the white ball captain of Mumbai, Shreyas Iyersaid that they can’t babysit anyone and that every professional player should know what to do. Iyer pointed out that Shaw should concentrate, sit back and then figure it out for himself because no one can force him to do anything.
