# Prithvi Shaw Dropped from Mumbai’s Vijay Hazare Trophy Squad; SKY, Shardul Thakur Included

Mumbai’s squad for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy has seen notable changes, with the exclusion of star opening batsman Prithvi Shaw from the team. Shaw, who has been a fixture in Mumbai's lineup for years, was dropped in favor of including prominent players like Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) and Shardul Thakur, two key figures in India's international cricket scene

Shaw’s omission comes as a surprise, considering his consistent performances in domestic cricket over the past few seasons. The 24-year-old has had his fair share of ups and downs, with a stellar start to his career but recent struggles in form. Despite being one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket, Shaw’s inconsistency in both domestic and international cricket seems to have played a role in his exclusion from the squad. His most recent performances have been under scrutiny, with his form not meeting the expectations that Mumbai and selectors were hoping for in the high-stakes tournament.

On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav, who has been in scintillating form for India in T20 cricket, returns to the domestic fold after a successful stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and international tours. Known for his aggressive stroke play and innovative shots, SKY is expected to play a vital role in the middle-order for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His inclusion is seen as a significant boost for the team, bringing both experience and flair to the lineup.

Shardul Thakur, a key all-rounder in India's limited-overs team, is another notable inclusion in the squad. Known for his handy contributions with both bat and ball, Thakur’s inclusion strengthens Mumbai’s pace attack and provides additional depth to their overall composition. Having been part of several international tours and a key figure in India’s recent victories, Thakur's presence will undoubtedly add balance to Mumbai's side.

The Vijay Hazare Trophy is a crucial tournament for domestic cricketers to showcase their skills and cement their place in the national setup. With the Indian cricket team constantly evolving, the competition for spots in the national team is fierce, and performances in domestic tournaments such as the Vijay Hazare Trophy often serve as a springboard for international selection.

For Mumbai, the tournament is an opportunity to rediscover their dominant form in domestic cricket, especially after a few lean seasons in the 50-over format. Shaw’s absence raises questions about his future in the Mumbai squad and the national team, as selectors will be closely monitoring the performances of other young players in the tournament.

Shaw has already had a mixed career in international cricket, having been called up to the national team for several tours, but his recent struggles have made him a subject of scrutiny. His exclusion from the squad could serve as a wake-up call, urging him to focus on improving his game and regaining his spot in the team.

While Mumbai’s fans will miss seeing Shaw in action, the inclusion of SKY and Thakur adds excitement to the squad. Their contributions could prove crucial in Mumbai’s pursuit of the Vijay Hazare Trophy title this season. The team is now led by a blend of experienced internationals and rising stars, making for an intriguing prospect as they look to reclaim glory in domestic cricket.

The decision to drop Shaw signals that the selectors are not afraid to make tough calls based on form, even when it concerns a player with such immense talent. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Mumbai’s lineup, especially Shaw, who will need to bounce back strong to earn his place back in the team.
