Sri Lanka tour, remainder of IPL crucial to Prithvi Shaw's inclusion in T20 World Cup squad: Mohammad Kaif

India tour of Sri Lanka: Former India batsman Mohammad Kaif said Prithvi Shaw should be looking to make good use of his form and play big knocks against Sri Lanka to knock the selectors' doors for a spot in the T20 World Cup squad.

The competition for spots in the Indian T20 World Cup is intense and young opener Prithvi Shaw has an opportunity to stake a claim if he performs consistently in the tour of Sri Lanka and the remainder of IPL 2021, according to former India batsman Mohammad Kaif. Prithvi Shaw has played 5 Tests and 3 ODIs for India so far but is yet to make his T20I debut. But the Mumbai opener has proved his exploits in the shortest format of the game, amassing 1508 runs in 59 matches at a strike rate of 150.
