Speaking to media outlet Times of India, Ganguly, who currently serves as Director of Cricket for Shaw's IPL team Delhi Capitals, said, "I think Prithvi Shaw is ready to play for India. Whether he gets an opportunity will depend on slots. I am sure Rohit Sharma and selectors have a close eye on him. He is a good player and ready.
Notably, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting also feels that Prithvi Shaw is going to have a breakout season this year.
"Hes in a better physical shape than Ive ever seen him before. I spoke to him the other day about his attitude, the way hes working, and how things are going. I honestly feel that this is going to be his biggest season in the IPL. He just has that different look in his eye this year. You can see, hes hungrier than ever," Ponting had said.
Shaw, who made his debut with Delhi in 2018, has been associated with the franchise ever since. In 63 IPL games so far, Shaw has scored 1588 runs at a strike rate of 147.45, managing 12 50+ scores and a highest of 99.
