‘Seniors complained about Prithvi Shaw. He stayed out all night, reached hotel at 6 AM’: Selectors rubbish Insta rant
Hindustan TimesThe carnival around Prithvi Shaw’s career continues, as his non-inclusion in Mumbai’s squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy continues a downward trend for the stocks of a once-promising batter who was considered to be a star of India’s future. The ball would pass near him and he would barely be able to get to it," said the source, indicating how Shaw’s concerns in the field were a big part of why he was not included, even if his batting has seen him be a regular starter in recent matches in the Mumbai’s triumphant Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Ranji Trophy campaigns. His fitness, discipline and attitude are poor and it is pretty simple, there cannot be different rules for different players.” ‘Even the seniors in the team…’ Shreyas Iyer, who leads Mumbai in the limited overs competitions, had spoken about how Shaw was reaching the end of his rope and needed to knuckle down following the win at the SMAT. During the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Shaw missed training sessions regularly after showing up at the team hotel at "six in the morning" being out for most of the night.
