Prithvi Shaw Not Included In Squad For Asian Games

Prithvi Shaw had a disappointing season with the bat for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). After a few matches, he was dropped from the starting XI. The 23-year-old only managed to score 106 runs in eight matches with a dismal strike rate of 124.71.

It is worth mentioning that Shaw is not on the selectors’ radar, as he was not included in the second-string team for the upcoming Asian Games, scheduled to be held in September 2023 in Hangzhou, China. The selectors picked Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers in the team.
