Ranji Trophy: Prithvi Shaw included in Mumbai squad for semi-final against Tamil Nadu

Teenage sensation Prithvi Shaw has earned a maiden call-up to the Mumbai squad for their Ranji Trophy semi-final encounter against Tamil Nadu.

Shaw made the news in 2013 when, as a 14-year-old, slammed 546 runs from 330 balls in a Harris Shield match. It was a world record for the highest score by an Indian batsman in minor cricket before being broken by Pranav Dhanawade earlier this year.

Shaw, now 17, recently represented the victorious India U-19 team at the ACC U-19 Asia Cup. He notched up 191 runs at an average of 38.20 during the five matches.

The inclusion of Shaw for Kevin d’Almeida is the only change from the 15-man squad that overcame Hyderabad in the quarter-final.

The defending champions will continue to be without the experienced trio of Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma and Dhawal Kulkarni – all of whom are still recovering from injuries.

MUMBAI’S SQUAD

Aditya Tare (c, wk), Praful Waghela, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Siddhesh Lad, Abhishek Nayar,, Shardul Thakur, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Tushar Deshpande, Royston Dias, Sufiyan Shaikh (wk), Vijay Gohil, Akshay Girap, Eknath Kerkar, Prithvi Shaw.
