The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has granted cricketer Prithvi Shaw a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to represent another state as a professional player in the upcoming domestic season after he had formally requested for it earlier in the day. After due consideration, the MCA has granted the NOC.
Speaking on the development, MCA Secretary Mr. Abhay Hadap said,
"Prithvi Shaw has been an exceptional talent and has contributed significantly to Mumbai cricket. We respect his decision and wish him the very best in his future endeavours."
MCA acknowledges and appreciates Prithvi's contributions over the years and extends best wishes for his continued success," read the MCA statement.
Prithvi Shaw's lack of discipline and fitness costs him his spot
The 25-year-old Shaw, who has played five Tests and six ODIs for India, was dropped from the Mumbai Ranji side last year on grounds of poor fitness and lack of discipline.
Having missed the rest of the Ranji Trophy season, Shaw last played for Mumbai in the final of the premier domestic tournament Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy against Madhya Pradesh, which his side won by five wickets.
Shaw's fitness levels and discipline were not only severely criticised by administrators over the course of last season, but Shreyas Iyer, who led Mumbai to title win in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy had also seemed trifle unhappy.
