His fitness, discipline, and attitude are poor: MCA
The MCA official also noted that Shaw’s fitness and attitude issues were evident even while batting. He also revealed that the Mumbai team’s senior players have started expressing frustration over Shaw’s repeated failure to meet the team's expectations and about his approach.
The official added, “Even while batting, we could see he was troubled reaching for the ball. His fitness, discipline, and attitude are poor, and it is pretty simple: there cannot be different rules for different players. Even the seniors in the team have started complaining about his attitude now.”

The official made it crystal clear that Shaw’s poor attitude and lack of discipline have become major issues and real obstacles to his career, saying he is his own enemy. Notably, Shaw also went unsold at the IPL 2025 mega auction last month.
The MCA official signed off by saying, “You would be wrong to think such posts on social media would have any impact on the Mumbai selectors and the MCA. He is not following the specified fitness program at the MCA Academy as well as properly. I'll tell you one thing. No one is Shaw's enemy. He is his own enemy.”
