Prithvi Shaw to leave Mumbai after MCA grants NOC
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) granted a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to Prithvi Shaw after he had mailed his request to represent a different State association earlier on Monday. Confirming the development, MCA secretary Abhay Hadap said, 'He is an exceptional talent and has contributed significantly to Mumbai cricket. We respect his decision and wish him the very best in his future endeavours…' In a statement later in the day, the MCA acknowledged and appreciated Shaw's contributions over the years and extended best wishes for his continued success.' In his letter to the MCA, the 25-year-old said that he had been 'presented with a promising opportunity to play professional cricket under another State Association' for the upcoming domestic season. The former India Under-19 captain was dropped from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad last season, with the selection committee citing fitness concerns. Shaw hasn't played List A cricket in India since the 2022 Vijay Hazare Trophy — in his most recent outing for Mumbai two seasons ago, his last five scores were 32, 54, 39, 51, and 10. Earlier this year, Yashavi Jaiswal had taken an NOC from the MCA and was set to play for Goa. But he made a U-turn later and stayed back in Mumbai. Sources have indicated that the batter has offers from a couple of state units and he is currently considering his options.

Prithvi Shaw leaves Mumbai for cricketing 'growth and development'
Mumbai, Jun 23 (PTI) Embattled India batter Prithvi Shaw on Monday ended his ties with home team Mumbai after being granted a No Objection Certificate by the MCA to sign up with a new domestic side for his "growth and development as a cricketer". Shaw has been out of reckoning from the red ball set-up for some time but has played white ball cricket. However, his off-field disciplinary issues have grabbed more air time than his on-field performances. The Mumbai Cricket Association confirmed receiving Shaw's request and has given its approval to it. "The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) would like to inform that cricketer Prithvi Shaw had formally requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to represent another state as a professional player in the upcoming domestic season. After due consideration, the MCA has granted the NOC," the MC stated MCA Secretary Abhay Hadap said the body appreciates Shaw's contributions over the years. "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," he stated. In the letter that Shaw sent to the MCA, the 25-year-old said he was grateful for the time he spent in the Mumbai team, for which he made his debut in 2017, but desires to move on now. "I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) for the valuable opportunities and unwavering support extended to me during my time representing the association. "It has truly been an honor and a privilege to be part of the MCA setup, and I am deeply grateful for the exposure and experience I have gained here," he wrote in the letter. He then went on to state his reasons for the wanting to leave the team. "At this juncture in my career, I have been presented with a promising opportunity to play professional cricket under another State Association, which I believe will further contribute to my growth and development as a cricketer. "In light of this, I kindly request you to issue me a No Objection Certificate (NOC) that will enable me to officially represent the new State Association in the upcoming domestic season," he said. However, the identity of the team that he intends to join next is not yet known. Shaw said his decision has been made after "careful consideration, and with utmost respect for the MCA." "I remain ever grateful to the association for the guidance and platform provided over the years." 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 the title win in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, also seemed trifle unhappy. "He needs to get his work ethics right, and if he does that, the sky is the limit for him," Iyer told reporters in Bengaluru. "We can't babysit anyone, right? Every professional who is playing at this level, they need to know what they should be doing. "And he has also done it in the past; it's not that he hasn't. He has to focus, he has to sit back, (and) put a thinking cap on, and then figure out himself. He will get the answer by himself," he added.
