The young Indian protege, Prithvi Shaw was recently going for a short trip to Goa with his friends, but he was met with a roadblock after the 21-year-old was stopped by Police as they failed to get an e-pass. Shaw, who was in brilliant form during the recent IPL season, was stopped by police in Amboli and despite requesting the officer to allow them, he wasn’t allowed to proceed further.

The Delhi Capitals opener had to then apply for an e-pass from his mobile phone and they were only allowed to cross the border then they got the necessary approvals. Meanwhile, Prithvi Shaw has failed to find a place in the 20-men Team India squad for the upcoming tour of England due to fitness concerns.

According to a report published in the Times of India, the sectors have asked the youngster to learn from Rishabh Pant and shed a few kilos. The official also added that Prithvi had concentration issues while fielding in Australia.

Describing the same one of the sources of TOI in BCCI said, “Prithvi is still very slow across the turf for a 21-year-old. He needs to shed a few more kilos. He also had concentration issues while fielding in Australia. Shaw has been working hard since he returned from Australia. He has the example of Rishabh Pant right in front of him. If Pant can turn things around in a few months, Prithvi too can do it.”

The source also explained that the selectors have urged Prithvi Shaw to work on his consistency and find a way of continuing his purple patch for long periods.
