'Don’t Speak, With Half Facts' - Prithvi Shaw Shares Cryptic Story After MCA Official Alleges Night Outs During SMAT

Prithvi Shaw has taken to social media again to share a cryptic message after a Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) member reportedly accussed the cricketer of poor attitude, discipline and fitness.

A MCA member reacted to Shaw's emotional outburst on social media after his exclusion from the Mumbai squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy, asserting that the temperamental batter has flouted disciplinary norms regularly and is "his own enemy".

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 a few days ago despite being a part of the Mumbai's title-winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign.

According to a report in PTI, a senior MCA official claimed that the side was at times "forced to hide" him on the field and also alleged that the batter missed training sessions regularly after showing up at the team hotel at "six in the morning" being out for most of the night.

After the latest news caught all the attention, Shaw without taking any names, came up with a cyptic message via a story on his Instagram account, "If you don't understand it fully, don't speak on it. Too many people have full opinions, with half the facts. Friyay," Shaw wrote on Friday (December 20).

Shaw has gone out of favour in the Indian cricket team, and did not have any takers in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) Mega Auction after being released by Delhi Capitals. Now, he has also failed to keep his place in the Mumbai team.

Earlier this year, Shaw was left out of Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad for similar reasons after which he was given a specific fitness program to work on at the MCA Academy. While he returned to the team later and was also part of the SMAT squad, Shaw has once again been left out of the Vijay Hazare Trophy team.

After he was excluded from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, Shaw had taken to Instagram to post a stroy that read, "Tell me, God, what more do I have to see... If 65 innings, 3399 runs at an average of 55.7 with a strike rate of 126, I'm not good enough... but I will keep my faith in you, and hopefully people believe in me still... because I will come back for sure. Om Sai Ram."
