Shaw is a perfect example of how Rahul Dravid , the custodian of Indian cricket supply line, is going about his business in taking players to the next level. Dravid, the coach of the India U-19 and A teams, wants a fine balance between age-group cricket and exposure to the first-class stage. "At the moment, we definitely want him (Prithvi) to be part of the U-19 World Cup team in January. It's also important to represent your country at the junior level," Dravid stated on Tuesday.There have been many cases in Indian cricket where prolific performers in age-group cricket have disappeared from the scene once they were done with U-19 cricket. For Dravid, U-19 can't be a habit for a player.
