According to reports, Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw is set to train with World Champion Indian shuttler PV Sindhu to work on his footwork and work ethics. Shaw is currently out of action after getting banned in July for eight months starting from 16 March for consuming a banned substance.

Banned Indian Test cricketer Prithvi Shaw will be training with Indian shuttler and 2019 World Championship winner PV Sindhu in Hyderabad. According to reports by the Hindu, Prithvi’s team is working on a schedule for the youngster to train with the Olympic Silver medallist. He will be working on his footwork and work ethics, the report adds. Sindhu, before her World championship victory, trained with strength trainer Srikanth Verma Madapalli who put Sindhu under a rigorous routine ahead of the tournament and the results were crystal clear during Sindhu’s triumph.

The cricketer from Maharashtra is currently out of action as he got banned in July for a period of eight months starting from March 16 for consuming a banned substance. The board was satisfied with Shaw’s explanation and hence, he did not receive a harsher punishment.

Shaw’s ban will end on November 15, although he played Indian Premier League (IPL) and T20 Mumbai league during the ban. The teenager is currently missing the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy and will be making his comeback for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy next month.

The right hander hogged the limelight when he scored 546 runs in minor cricket back in 2013 and also steering India to a victory in the Junior World Cup in 2018. His valuable performances for India A saw the youngster earn his maiden Test call-up for the fourth and fifth Test during the England tour where he replaced an underperforming Murali Vijay. Shaw made his much-awaited debut against West Indies in Rajkot last year.

He started with his international career with a century and bagged the Player of the Series award with 237 runs in the series. Shaw was set to open with KL Rahul during the four-match Australia Test series Down Under but an ankle injury suffered during practice match saw him being ruled out of the series. He is yet to make his return to the national team.
