Prithvi Shaw seeks NOC from Mumbai to represent another state: 'Will further contribute to my growth'
Prithvi Shaw had been dropped from Mumbai's squad for the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy after just two matches at the start of the season. PTI
Opening batter Prithvi Shaw has sought a 'No Objection Certificate' from the Mumbai Cricket Association in order to sever ties with them and represent another state. The development comes months after he was dropped by the Mumbai selection committee due to poor fitness.
'He has sought NoC from us and we will take decision on it soon,' an MCA source was quoted by the Indian Express as saying.
Fitness issues to blame for Shaw's exit from Mumbai?
Mumbai, which had won its 42nd Ranji Trophy title in March last year, had informed Shaw that that his body contains 35 percent fat, and he needs rigorous exercise to make his way back to the squad.
The 25-year-old had played the first two matches of the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season against Baroda and Maharashtra, scoring 59 runs at an average just under 20 before getting dropped.

His last appearance for Mumbai was in the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, in which he was dismissed for 10 but the Shreyas Iyer-led side went on to defeat Madhya Pradesh by five wickets.

Shaw, who had made the last of his 12 international appearances in July 2021, wrote an email to the MCA in which he thanked them for the 'valuable opportunities and unwavering support' provided to him while making an official request for an NOC.
'At this juncture in my career, I have been presented with a promising opportunity to play professional cricket under another State Association, which I believe will further contribute to my growth and development as a cricketer. In light of this, I kindly request you to issue me a No Objection Certificate (NOC) that will enable me to officially represent the new State Association in the upcoming domestic season.
'Please be assured that this decision has been made after careful consideration, and with utmost respect for the MCA. I remain ever grateful to the association for the guidance and platform provided over the years," read Shaw's mail to the MCA.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, also an opening batter, had also parted ways with Mumbai last month and was set to represent Goa after obtaining an NOC from MCA. The 23-year-old, however, made a U-turn shortly after and requested to remain part of the association for the 2025-26 domestic season.

However, his time on the tour could be cut short as India are likely to bolster their tail with Nitish Reddy, who showed that he was an extremely capable red-ball batter in inclusion will mean that India will need a specialist bowler added to the line-up, which is likely to be one among Kuldeep or Washington Sundar. This in turn means that India will have to drop one among Karun Nair or Sai Sudharsan from the Gill has already called for more responsibility from the top order, which might hint that Sudharsan is going to retain his place in the line-up, at least for one more Test India Play Arshdeep?India have carried Arshdeep Singh in their squad for England.
