Embattled India batsman Prithvi Shaw on Monday terminated his tenure with the home team Mumbai upon receiving a No Objection Certificate by the MCA to join a new domestic team to facilitate his growth and development as a cricketer. Shaw has spent some time out of the reckoning within the red ball set up, but has had a white ball career. His disciplinary problems outside the field have however topped air time as compared to his performance on the field. Mumbai Cricket Association has affirmed the receipt of Shaw request and it has granted its approval on the same.
