Prithvi Shaw left out of Vijay Hazare Trophy squad as Mumbai Cricket Association cites fitness issues

Prithvi Shaw has been excluded from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, prompting frustration from the player. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) responded, stating that Shaw's poor fitness and discipline have made him "his own enemy." MCA officials noted that Shaw's attitude has affected team performance, claiming they often had to "hide" him on the field during previous matches. His lack of commitment to training and fitness programs has also been highlighted. Shaw was previously dropped from the Ranji Trophy squad for similar reasons. Despite early promise in his career, he has struggled to maintain form and has not played for India since 2021.
