Prithvi Shawhas been shortlisted as one of the 17 members in Maharashtra's squad for the All India Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament. This particular tournament is set to be Shaw's first after his move from Mumbai to Maharashtra in July.
Shaw requested Mumbai for a no-objection certificate after he was dropped from their 2024/25 Ranji Trophy lineup due to poor fitness and indiscipline. His most recent match for Mumbai was the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 final.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is also included in the squad, which will be led by middle-order batter Ankit Bawne. Gaikwad will be primed to play his first professional match since his elbow injury during IPL 2025.
However, it is reported that Gaikwad and wicketkeeper-batter Saurabh Nawale will leave after Maharashta's first match to join the West Zone squad in Bengaluru for the upcoming Duleep Trophy.
Ayush Mhatre named Mumbai skipperMumbai will be led by 18-year-old Ayush Mhatre. Mhatre recently led India Under-19 during their recent multi-format tour of England. Mhatre was Gaikwad's replacement in Chennai Super Kings, and which he showed glimpses of his prowess in limited time. He was also the leading run-scorer (340 runs in four innings) in the red-ball games against England Lions.
Mumbai's squad also includes Sarfaraz Khan and his younger brother Musheer. The latter suffered a fracture in the neck region in a road accident in September in 2024 and missed the domestic season afterwards. The spin-bowling all-rounder's lone appearance since recovering was for Punjab Kings in the Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025.
