A huge blow was recently delivered to Prithvi Shaw’s cricket career as Mumbai dropped him from their Ranji Trophy squad. Though an exact reason wasn’t provided for his exclusion from the squad, it has been reported that the coaches were extremely unhappy with his attitude towards fitness and discipline.
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) selection committee has reportedly decided to leave out Shaw at least for one Ranji Trophy game. As per Cricbuzz, Prithvi’s discipline had become a huge headache for the coaches. The selectors and the team management are looking to teach Shaw a lesson by dropping him from the squad.
The report also claimed that he doesn’t take net sessions seriously and is also irregular. Many also consider him overweight, which also shows lack of discipline towards the profession he is in.
The report further added that not just the team management and selectors, but also the captain and the coach of the Mumbai team were keen to drop him from the squad.
However, it doesn’t look like Prithvi is ready to learn his lesson yet, as after his exclusion from the squad, the opening batter took to Instagram and wrote a sarcastic post stating, “Need a break thx,” and added a smiling emoji as well.
The 24-year-old’s post came a few hours before the earliest reports emerged of him being dropped from Mumbai’s team.
