Watch: ‘It will be Prithvi Shaw 2.0 going forward’: Talented Batsman Shares Video

“I turn 20 today. I assure it will be Prithvi Shaw 2.0 going forward. Thank u for all the good wishes & support. Will be back in action soon,” Prithvi posted a video with the aforementioned caption.

Mumbai's prodigious batting talent Prithvi Shaw who is leaving no stoned unturned for a comeback into the Indian team is expected to play for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India's premier domestic T20 tournament. On July 30, the BCCI had handed a back-dated 8-month ban on Shaw for “inadvertently” consuming a cough syrup that contained the prohibited substance terbutaline. Prithvi who made a stellar start to his Test career, was found short on runs on the Australia tour owing to an injury. Ahead of his comeback, he shared a video of himself batting at the nets and gearing up to hit the ground running.

“He will be free to play from [November] 16, so of course he will be considered for selection,” Rege told ESPNcricinfo on Thursday. “I can’t make any commitment to whether he will be back, but we will certainly discuss his selection.” “Shaw’s class is there, you see,” Rege said. “He is a dynamic young batsman. So that will weigh heavily in his favour because he has scored runs for Mumbai in the last one-and-a-half years and he also did well in Test cricket till he went to Australia. There has been a gap. So he will again have to start once again.”
