Mumbai's teen batting sensation Prithvi Shaw was stunned when the national selectors drafted him in the Indian Test squad against England for the fourth and fifth Test matches. Prithvi, 18, and middle-order batsman Hanuma Vihari were the new inclusions in the team in place of opener Murali Vijay and chinaman Kuldeep Yadav. "I was not expecting a Test call-up so early," Prithvi told mid-day from Bangalore.

"I have followed India's first three Test matches against England and if given a chance in the playing XI, I will try my best to contribute," Prithvi added. Prithvi was one of the star performers along with Vihari and Mayank Agarwal during the recent India 'A' tour to the United Kingdom.
