India's batting prodigy Prithvi Shaw, who missed the entire Australia tour due to an ankle injury, is all set to make his return.

Quoted by the Indian Express, Shaw said: “I felt sad as it was a good opportunity for me to play the quality Australian bowling line-up. I was a bit upset. But some things aren’t in your hands. Now I’m looking forward to the Mushtaq Ali tournament to find my touch and gain some confidence back”.

Shaw rolled over his ankle during India's practice game against Cricket Australia XI at the SCG days before the first Test. He trained and recovered at the NCA in Bengaluru, but did not opt for Surgery.
