mumbai dough Prithvi Shaw reacted to being left out of the squad for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The batsman has written List A cricket saying things can’t get worse for him as he has such a great record.
Youngster Prithvi Shaw has failed to make the Mumbai squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. After the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) announced the 17-strong squad for the tournament on Tuesday (December 17), the batsman was dropped from the team.
Prithvi Shaw recently played for Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25.
Shaw recently played for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. However, he did not perform as well as he would have liked in the tournament. The batsman failed to set the scene on fire and seems to have paid the price by not being included in the squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Overall, Shaw has been a big disappointment on the domestic circuit this year. He was dropped from the team midway through the Ranji Trophy after 4 games in which he scored 59 runs. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25, he scored 197 runs at an average of 21.88 with a best of 49 runs. Vidarbha in the 1/4 finals.
Shaw was expected to be included in the squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, especially with the kind of record he has in 50-over cricket. But it was a big surprise that his name was not there.
I will keep my faith in you and hopefully people still believe in me. because I will definitely be back – Prithvi Shaw
Happy with its release, Shaw expressed his disappointment with his Instagram account. He scored 3,399 runs from 65 overs at an average of 55.7. However, he still kept his faith in God and said that he would definitely return. He announced the following on his Instagram account:
“Tell me Lord what else do I need to do. 65 overs, 3399 runs at 126 with an average of 55.7 I’m not good enough.. but I’ll keep my faith in you and hopefully people still believe in me because I definitely i will be back..OM SAI RAM..”

The past few months have been tough for Prithvi Shaw
When Shaw dropped out of the Ranji Trophy, he was asked to shed some extra pounds and improve his fitness. Although the exact reason for his drop is not known, it is likely to be due to fitness issues.
The past few months have not been easy for Prithvi Shaw. He was also not sold in the Indian Premier League auction. And now it is thrown, it remains to be seen how his future will be.
