Prithvi Shaw to play in Hazare Trophy

Mumbai will be bolstered by the presence of India under-19 World Cup-winning skipper Prithvi Shaw when it takes on Tamil Nadu in their Vijay Hazare Trophy here on Thursday.

A source close to the team confirmed the development to Sportstar on Tuesday.

Shaw is expected to open the innings with Jay Bista in the Hazare Trophy.

The Mumbai Cricket Association had announced the squad three days before the World Cup final in New Zealand.
