We had to hide him, he’s his own enemy: MCA dismisses Shaw’s outburst over Vijay Hazare snub

MUMBAI: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has brushed aside Prithvi Shaw’s emotional outburst after his exclusion from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, asserting that the temperamental batter has flouted disciplinary norms regularly and is “his own enemy”.

A senior official of the MCA, while talking to PTI, claimed that the side was at times “forced to hide” him on the field due to his poor fitness, discipline and attitude.

Shaw had expressed his frustration at not being picked in the 16-member squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy in a viral social media post some days ago after being a part of the side’s title-winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign.
