Prithvi Shaw has formally written to the Mumbai Cricket Association requesting a No Objection Certificate to move to another state team ahead of the upcoming domestic season. “He has sought NoC from us and we will take decision on it soon,” an MCA official told The Indian Express. The report also suggest that Shaw has received offers from a few state associations but has yet to finalise his next destination.

Shaw’s decision comes after a difficult year with the Mumbai team. The 25-year-old opener was dropped from the Ranji Trophy squad in 2023 due to fitness concerns and was also left out of the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad in the 2024–25 season. He last played a List A match in India in 2022. In 2024, he featured in the One-Day Cup for Northamptonshire in England. In his List A career, he has scored 3,399 runs in 65 matches at an average of 55.72 and a strike rate of 125.74. His record includes ten centuries and 14 half-centuries.

During the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy, Shaw played only two matches and scored 59 runs in four innings. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he played nine T20 matches and made 197 runs at an average of 21.88 with a strike rate of 156.34. 

Shaw made his Test debut for India in 2018 against the West Indies. He last played a Test in 2020. He made his ODI debut in 2020 and played his only T20I in 2021. Shaw also went unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction.

As Shaw looks for a fresh start, the final decision on his transfer will depend on the Mumbai Cricket Association’s response to his NOC request.
