**Former Cricket Prodigy Prithvi Shaw Seeks Transfer, Acknowledges Missteps in Recent Years**
**Mumbai, India** – Prithvi Shaw, once hailed as the future of Indian cricket, is seeking a transfer from the Mumbai Cricket Association ahead of the upcoming domestic season, a move that comes after a period of struggles that saw him dropped from the Ranji side due to fitness and disciplinary issues and going unselected in the IPL 2025.
The 25-year-old batsman, who has represented India in five Tests and six ODIs, recently opened up about his challenges, admitting to taking “wrong decisions” and getting distracted from the intense dedication required to excel at the highest level. Shaw acknowledged a decline in his practice hours and the influence of “wrong friends” during a recent interview.
Despite the setbacks, Shaw expressed gratitude towards Rishabh Pant and Sachin Tendulkar, whom he said were the only two big cricketers to have reached out to him. Shaw shares a long history with Tendulkar through Arjun Tendulkar, with whom he grew up.
Shaw last played for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy final against Madhya Pradesh, where his team emerged victorious. However, he recognizes the long road ahead as he seeks to regain his form and reputation in the cricketing world. His decision to seek a transfer signals a renewed commitment to his career.
