Indian opener, Prithvi Shaw missed the opportunity to play for India in the recently concluded home T20I series against South Africa. Then, he had been excluded from the recently announced squad for the upcoming two-match T20I series against Ireland.
After having a decent Indian T20 League, fans also believed that Shaw need to be added as fans showed their support for the player. However, speaking to Hindustan Times, the opener said that he is not thinking of a comeback at all.
“It’s nowhere near my mind you know – come back to the Indian team,” – Prithvi Shaw
This Indian batter is currently busy with his Ranji side as Mumbai reached the final of this year’s Ranji Trophy. He had been leading the state side as he is completely looking forward to this year’s final against Madhya Pradesh. Shaw said: “It’s nowhere near my mind you know – come back to the Indian team,”
He also added that his main focus is to win this trophy first for Mumbai. “Getting the Cup is my main motive and not thinking anything other than winning this one,” said Shaw. “The preparation what we have done for the Ranji Trophy and not focusing on what’s happening on the outside. It’s about winning the Ranji Trophy and getting those happy moments back,” he added.
Mumbai is coming off two strong performances where they defeated Uttar Pradesh in the semi-final and Uttarakhand in the quarter-final. As an individual batter, he managed to score two fifties in four innings during these matches.
“I have scored a couple of fifties but that’s not enough for me for sure and no one even congratulated me after scoring a fifty and you feel bad as well. It happens sometimes but I am glad that my team is doing well. “In cricket and in life, the graph always goes up and down and it’s never going to always go up. So it’s just a matter of time that I middle those balls and get those big runs again,” Shaw concluded.
He last played for India in a T20I match against Sri Lanka in July 2021.
