Prithvi Shaw Demoted to Captain MCA Colts Amid Fitness and Discipline Concerns

The Mumbai Cricket Association has reassigned Shaw to the Police Invitational Shield Tournament, citing ongoing issues with fitness, discipline, and performance.

Prithvi Shaw was dropped from Mumbai's Vijay Hazare Trophy squad due to concerns over his fitness, discipline, and underwhelming performance in recent tournaments.
The Mumbai Cricket Association has named Shaw captain of the MCA Colts team for the Police Invitational Shield Tournament, seen as a step down in his career trajectory.
MCA officials revealed that Shaw frequently missed training sessions and returned to the team hotel late at night, which contributed to his exclusion from higher-level squads.
Shaw's recent struggles include poor fielding, a lackluster batting performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and going unsold in the IPL mega auction in Saudi Arabia.
Former BCCI selector Jatin Paranjape criticized the MCA for its handling of Shaw, suggesting this may be his last season as a Mumbai player.
