<p>The first-ever test loss to Bangladesh in the history of cricket, the pain and agony in Pakistan's heart is all understandable. The ex-cricketers and cricket pundits in Pakistan are criticizing the decisions made on-field by skipper Shan Masood. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-slapped-pakistan-and-bangladesh"><strong>ICC Slapped Pakistan and Bangladesh</strong></h2>



<p>If the anguish of losing the test and the bad decisions wasn't enough, the ICC have imposed heavy duties on Pakistan and Bangladesh for breach of the ICC Code of Conduct Article 2.22. </p>



<p>Ranjan Madugalle, a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, issued penalties after determining that Pakistan were six overs short of the required target and Bangladesh were three overs short, taking into account the allotted time allowances.</p>

<p>As a result, Pakistan have been fined 30% of their match fees and docked six points in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) standings. Bangladesh, meanwhile, have been fined 15% of their match fees and lost three WTC points for failing to maintain the required over-rate during the first Test in Rawalpindi.</p>



<p>According to <strong>Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct</strong> for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses minimum over-rate offenses, players are fined 5% of their match fee for each over their team falls short of the target within the allotted time.</p>



<p>Additionally, under Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, teams lose one point for every over they fall short.</p>



<p>Captains Shan Masood of Pakistan and Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh admitted to the breaches and agreed to the proposed penalties, eliminating the need for formal hearings.</p>

<p>Shakib al Hasan has been known for losing his temper on the field and here we saw it happening again. In the first test, Shakib was bowling to Rizwan and as Shakib was just about to deliver the ball, Rizwan withdrew from his stance. Meanwhile, Shakib lost his cool and threw the ball directly towards the Wicketkeeper and Batter. </p>

<p>However, there was no harm to any player or property but throwing the ball towards the player without any runout attempt is considered as an offense of Level 1. </p>



<p>As per Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct, "<strong><em>throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.</em></strong>"</p>



<p>Shakib is handed a 10% fine of his match fees for this behavior. Thankfully no players and skippers are handed a match ban. The second test of the Bangladesh tour of Pakistan 2024 is set to commence on August 30.</p>

<p>Things are not looking good for talented batsman Prithvi Shaw in recent times. He flopped after making his much awaited return on the cricket field after a period of six months. These days he is taking part in the 2025 edition of the T20 Mumbai League. Let's know which bowler dismissed him in the first match.</p>

<p>Prithvi Shaw, who was once called the future star of Team India, today his career is hanging in the balance. The return of this 25-year-old player, who has made his debut in all three formats for India, to the national setup seems very difficult, because nothing is going right with Shaw. Neither his bat is working nor is luck supporting him.</p>
<p>On June 4, he came on the field after about 6 months, but flopped. He managed to score just five runs in four balls and his inning ended on a disappointing note. Let's know where Shaw is playing and which bowler got him out. Prithvi Shaw did not play in the 2025 editon of the Indian Premier League (IPL) , because he was released by the Delhi Capitals (DC) and then he remained unsold in the auction. This was a big setback in his career.</p>
<h2><strong>No buyer was found in IPL 2025 auction</strong></h2>
<p>After remaining unsold in the mega auction of the cash-rich t20 league, Prithvi Shaw returned to the field through the T20 Mumbai League which started on the 4th of June, but he flopped in the very first match. He out after scoring just five runs in four balls. He was sent to the pavilion by right-arm pacer Dhanit Raut.</p>
<h2><strong>Match Report</strong></h2>
<p>Shaw is the skipper of North Mumbai Panthers (NMP) in the Mumbai T20 League and they are also the reigning champions having lifted the trophy in 2019 before the tournament came to a halt due to Covid-19. His team's first match was against Namo Bandra Blasters, in which the Panthers suffered a hammering defeat by a margin of 40 runs. The Bandra Blasters batted first and scored 171 runs for 6 wickets. Dhrumil Madkar contributed 52 runs in 23 balls, which included six huge maximums. Chasing the target of 172 runs, Shaw's team North Mumbai Panthers was all out for 131 runs. Divyanshu Saxena (42 runs) was the top run getter for his team.</p>
<h2><strong>Prithvi would be eager to make a strong comeback</strong></h2>
<p>Prithvi Shaw has returned to the field for the first time since December 2024. He last played for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where his performance was disappointing. The right-handed batter has flopped in the first match of the Mumbai T20 League, but he would like to perform strongly in the next matches. This league can play an important role for the hard hitting opening batter in getting his career back on track.</p>
<h2><strong>Was once considered the next big thing in Indian Cricket, today career is in limbo</strong></h2>
<p>This is the same Prithvi Shaw who won the Under 19 World Cup for India in 2018. Prithvi was the captain of that team. In the same year, this player performed brilliantly in domestic cricket, after which he got a chance to make his Test debut. Prithvi made a splash by scoring a century in his first Test and he was being compared to the great Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Brian Lara. However, after this his graph started falling. He had to face a ban due to failing the doping test. Now the situation is that Prithvi is out of the Mumbai team. His career is in limbo.</p>
<h2><strong>How is Prithvi Shaw's international cricket career?</strong></h2>
<p>Prithvi made his Test debut for the Indian Cricket Team in 2018. He has scored a total of 339 runs in nine innings of five Test matches at an average of 42.37, with the assistance of two half-centuries and a hundred. He made his ODI debut in 2020 and has 189 runs to his name in six matches. Then he made his T20 debut in 2021. In the only match he participated in, he got dismissed without opening his account. Talking about his IPL stats, he has amassed 1,892 runs in 79 games, which also includes 14 fifties.</p>

Prithvi Shaw's struggles continue as he scores just 5 runs in his T20 Mumbai League comeback, dismissed by pacer Dhanit Raut. The former U-19 World Cup captain, once compared to Tendulkar, now faces a career crisis after being unsold in IPL 2025 and dropped from Mumbai's domestic team. His international career (339 Test runs, 189 ODI runs) and IPL record (1,892 runs) show unfulfilled potential. This tournament is crucial for Shaw's fading career revival.

Prithvi Shaw, once hailed as Indian cricket’s next big star, is facing a career crisis. After being unsold in IPL 2025 and released by Delhi Capitals, he returned to action in the T20 Mumbai League on June 4 but flopped, scoring just 5 runs (4 balls) before being dismissed by pacer Dhanit Raut. Leading defending champions North Mumbai Panthers, Shaw’s team lost their opener by 40 runs to Namo Bandra Blasters.

Shaw’s decline has been stark since his 2018 U-19 World Cup heroics and Test debut century. Once compared to legends like Tendulkar and Sehwag, his career derailed due to inconsistent form, a doping ban, and now exclusion from Mumbai’s domestic teams. His international stats (339 Test runs, 189 ODI runs, and a duck in his lone T20I) and IPL record (1,892 runs) highlight unfulfilled potential.
This Mumbai League is a critical chance for Shaw to revive his fading career, but early struggles underscore the uphill battle ahead.
