After grabbing headlines with his efforts in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup, Shivam Mavi had to endure painful back injuries for a while before he could get back on track.
The 24-year-old pacer’s perseverance paid off earlier in the year when he made his international debut in T20s playing six matches, three against Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
It was a reward for his hard yards in domestic cricket over the last year, where he came up with commendable performances across formats. The young pacer hopes to make a stronger case for himself in the upcoming season and is looking to use the Deodhar Trophy to break into the one-day side.
