Prithvi Shaw opened up on getting dropped from Team India, revealing that he wasn’t informed about the reason behind his exclusion from the team. He expressed that he had cleared all the fitness tests and still wasn’t picked in the team. The right-handed batter marks his International debut with a Test century. However, he hasn’t been able to cement a place in the team.
Prithvi Shaw had a forgetful Indian Premier League 2023 campaign for the Delhi Capitals. He managed just 106 runs in eight matches and fell behind the radar of the Indian selectors. He was also involved in off-field controversy, getting a lot of backlash on social media. In an interview recently, Prithvi Shaw opened up about getting dropped from Team India. He said,
“When I was dropped I didn’t get to know the reason. Someone was saying it could be fitness. But of course, I came here (to Bengaluru) and cleared all the tests at the NCA, again scored runs and again came back to the T20 team.”
“But again didn’t get a chance in the West Indies. I’m disappointed but you just have to move forward. I can’t do anything, I can’t fight with anyone,” he added.
