Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, once considered among the brightest young talents in the country, is now facing a rough patch in his career. After being sidelined from both the Indian national team and the Mumbai Ranji squad, Shaw has made a significant move to revive his cricketing journey. According to reliable sources, Shaw has officially requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) in order to represent another state team. This decision comes amid stiff competition within the Mumbai team, where emerging players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and Ayush Mhatre have established strong performances.
A senior MCA official confirmed that Shaw's request has been received and a decision on granting the NOC will be taken shortly. “He has expressed interest in moving out and has received offers from two to three state teams,” the source said. Despite being sidelined in the recent IPL season, Shaw showcased commendable form in the Mumbai T20 League, where he captained his team and performed impressively. His fitness, which had been a concern in the past, has reportedly improved following consistent efforts to reduce weight and enhance physical conditioning.
Shaw's journey has been one of early promise followed by setbacks. While critics have questioned his form and discipline, his talent remains undisputed. By choosing to move out of Mumbai, he is looking for more playing time and a fresh environment to rediscover his rhythm. As Shaw prepares for a new chapter, fans and cricket experts will be keenly watching whether this bold step helps him regain his lost form and make a strong comeback to the national stage.
