New Delhi. India batsman Prithvi Shaw has said that he has started living alone. He said that whenever he steps out, people harass him and a problem arises.

He also said that he was disappointed when he was dropped from the Indian team but decided to move on.

Shaw told Cricbuzz, ‘”When I was dropped (from the Indian team), I did not know the reason. Somebody was saying that it could be fitness. But of course I came here (Bengaluru) and the NCA Passed all the tests in 2016. Scored runs and got back in T20 team again. But didn’t get chance again in West Indies. I am disappointed but just have to move on.

Shaw said, “As a person, I just like to be myself. People say a lot of things about me. But people who know me, they also know who I am. I have No friends, I don’t like making friends. I am afraid to share my thoughts. One way or the other it all comes out on social media. I have very few friends, few friends, and even with them I am everything I don’t share, I only share some things.”

“If I go out, people will bother. They will put something on social media, so I don’t like to go out these days. Wherever I go, trouble arises. I have stopped going out altogether. . These days, I even go out for lunch and dinner alone. I love being alone now.”

Shaw is all set to play for Northamptonshire for the rest of the county cricket season in England and will also be a part of the Royal London One-Day Cup starting in August.
