Irfan Pathan backs Prithvi Shaw to open for Team India: Need to give him a long run

India Today  

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has backed Prithvi Shaw to be given a chance as India’s opener, saying he needs to be given a long run. Speaking to Star Sports, Pathan said Shaw should be given a chance as India’s opener going forward and needs to be given a long run. That's when I said that if you are playing Prithvi Shaw, you need to give him a long run,” said Pathan. "The team combination might change a bit when Prithvi Shaw plays and Ishan Kishan goes out but I think whenever Prithvi Shaw gets a chance, it will be a fantastic one because on one side you will get a stable opener, who is Shubman Gill,” said Pathan.
