IPL 2023: Ganguly sees Shaw ready for India selection while Ponting predicts his best IPL season yet

The Director of Cricket and Head Coach of Delhi Capitals are optimistic about the readiness and hunger of Prithvi Shaw, as he prepares to make an impact in the upcoming IPL season and stake his claim for a spot in the Indian national team.

Ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, Delhi Capitals’ Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly has expressed his confidence in young top-order batter Prithvi Shaw’s readiness to play for the Indian National team. While Shaw has had previous experience with the national team, he has yet to establish a regular position in the side. Despite this, Shaw has impressed with his explosive hitting and has secured a place in the DC-setup alongside David Warner, forming one of the most dynamic opening duos in the tournament.

Ganguly believes that Shaw’s potential is now at a level where he is ready to represent India, but acknowledges that it ultimately depends on available slots in the team. The former BCCI Chairman is confident that the national team’s selectors, along with Rohit Sharma, are keeping a close eye on Shaw’s progress.

At just 23 years old, Shaw has already made sporadic appearances across all formats for the Indian National team since his debut at 18 years old. With the ODI World Cup looming, the upcoming IPL season could be the breakout performance he needs to secure his place in the national team’s squad.
