His performance in the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 was lackluster, where Shaw failed to make an impact despite Mumbai clinching the title. In nine innings, the 25-year-old couldn't even reach 200 runs, averaging under 25 and consistently falling short while facing the new ball.

He added that the Indian batter’s fitness issue is visible to all, with his frame showing signs that it needs attention. The MCA hopes he will address these areas and make a strong comeback, as they believe he has the potential but must put in the necessary work to realize it.

We hope he works on these issues and makes a strong comeback. We all know his talent. It is just about him putting in the hard yards.”
