All India Buchi Babu Invitational: Right-handed batter Ruturaj Gaikwad and Prithvi Shaw have been named in Maharashtra’s 17-member squad for the All India Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament happening in Chennai from August 18 to September 9.

Senior batter Ankit Bawane will lead the side in the competition, which offers Shaw his first major opportunity to turn out for Maharashtra after moving on from Mumbai ahead of the new domestic cricket season.

Shaw, 25, will be aiming to revive his cricketing career after his fitness and discipline issues saw him being dropped from the Mumbai squad in the Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy competitions last season.
