Prithvi Shaw Named Maharashtra Captain for Ranji Trophy Opener Against Services
Prithvi Shaw has been named captain of Maharashtra's Ranji Trophy team for their Group C opener against Services starting October 11 in New Delhi. Regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad will miss the match due to his role leading India A in an unofficial ODI series against Australia A. The 16-member Maharashtra squad includes three players from Beed—Saurabh Navale, Sachin Dhas, and Rishikesh Sonawane—marking a first for the district. Maharashtra competes in Elite Group C alongside Bengal, Delhi, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Kerala, and Odisha.
