"In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, we were playing with 10 fielders as we were forced to hide Prithvi Shaw. The ball would pass near him and he would barely be able to get to it," the official said on conditions of anonymity.
"Even while batting, we could see he was troubled reaching to the ball. His fitness, discipline and attitude are poor and it is pretty simple, there cannot be different rules for different players," he claimed.
"Even the seniors in the team have started complaining about his attitude now," he added.
During SMAT training sessions he allegedly missed training sessions regularly after showing up at the team hotel at "six in the morning" and being out for most of the night.
