Shaw also wrote an open letter to the MCA requesting them to allow him to join a new domestic team after had offers from a few other teams. He fell out of favour from the Mumbai team for reasons of his fitness and fielding standards.
It is now being reported that Prithvi Shaw is likely to play for Maharashtra. If indeed that is the case, he will be playing alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad who will lead him.
