MUMBAI: Out for the last four months due to a bad knee injury he suffered while playing for Northamptonshire, opener Prithvi Shaw is set to miss the first two matches of the Ranji Trophy, which will kick off from January 5.
When the Mumbai selectors picked a 27-man probables' list on Monday for a preparatory camp for the Ranji Trophy, Shaw's name was missing. "Yes, Prithvi will miss our first two Ranji matches, against Bihar (in Patna from January 5), and Andhra (from January 12)," chief selector Raju Kulkarni told TOI on Thursday. The selectors have also dropped openers Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena.
