Indian batter Prithvi Shaw was named in Mumbai’s list of 28 probables for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which is scheduled to be held from November 23 to December 15.
India’s premier domestic T20 competition will end up dividing the Ranji Trophy into two halves along with the 50-overs Vijay Hazare Trophy this season.
Shaw’s inclusion in the list of 28 players comes after the batter was earlier dropped from Mumbai’s squad for the Ranji Trophy.
The 25-year-old, who has featured in 5 Tests, 6 ODIs and a T20I for India since making his international debut 6 years ago, was dropped from the Mumbai squad for their away Ranji Trophy clash against Tripura due to fitness and disciplinary matters.
“You have to look at his fitness and his running when he is on the field. The MCA has a rich history and there cannot be exceptions for a certain player,” a Mumbai Cricket Association official told PTI.
The probables list also features India and Mumbai’s in-form batter Shreyas Iyer, who is trying hard to force his name back into the national team with scores of 142 and 233 in his last 2 outings in Ranji Trophy.
Among those included are comeback man Siddhesh Lad, who made 169 in his last outing and all-rounder Shams Mulani, who ended his barren run with the ball to take 6/115 and 5/71 in Mumbai’s massive win against Odisha.
