PRITHVI Shaw’s return to competitive cricket might take longer than previously expected as the Mumbai opener will take another three or four months to fully recover from his injury.

Shaw had hurt his knee in August while playing a one-day game for Northamptonshire in English domestic cricket. At that time, he was in superb form scoring 244 and 125 not out in two of his four outings in the One-Day Cup before injury struck him while fielding during the game against Durham.
