MUMBAI: Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar suggested younger Mumbai batsman Prithvi Shaw to stick targeted if he harbours ambition to don the India jersey in the future, especially at a time when there is money concerned within the sport.
"I have not watched Prithvi much but heard so much of him, that he is a good player. If he works hard and stays focused he will play for India," mentioned Vengsarkar, a former chairman of selectors on the Sports Journalists Association of Mumbai awards rite on the Bombay Gymkhana right here.
The awards had been supported by Star Sports.
Shaw, who scored centuries on his Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy debuts for Mumbai, gained the Junior Cricketer of the Year award.
"(Former Mumbai selector) Milind Rege and (Former Mumbai coach) Chandrakant Pandit asked me who should we take. They said he (Shaw) is too young but he was given opportunity and in the first game he scored a hundred," recalled Vengsarkar.
"Consistency is important and you have to play every match as your first match and don't look at short cuts. You are a young cricketer and there is money in the game so that can be disruptive. So stay focused," used to be the legendary right- passed batsman's advise to Shaw.
Maharashtra sports minister Vinod Tawde, former India participant Pravin Amre amongst others had been provide on the match.
