Team India opener Prithvi Shaw was stopped by the Maharashtra police in Amboli for not carrying an E-Pass while was travelling to Goa for a holiday after the postponement of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.

Maharasthra police stopped Prithvi Shaw for about an hour and didn't entertain any requests by the young star.

The police did not allow him to go further because he did not have an e-pass when a lockdown is currently in force in Maharashtra to control the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Prithvi was travelling to Goa by his car via Kolhapur. The police allowed him to travel further only after the player applied for an E-pass at the spot.

Team India has to play the final of the Test Championship against New Zealand in Southampton on 18 June. After this, there will also be a series of 5 Tests at his home from England. Prithvi Shaw has not been selected in Team India for both the series.
