Teenage star Prithvi Shaw will miss the first Test against Australia after sustaining a serious ankle injury while fielding for India against a Cricket Australia XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday. Shaw was in pain and immediately grabbed his lower left leg after attempting to take a catch on the boundary. The 19-year-old was assisted off the ground by two India officials and later taken to hospital for treatment. Team officials said scans showed Shaw had ligament damage which will prevent him playing in the first Test which starts at Adelaide next Thursday.
