Prithvi Shaw returned to training, on Friday, after recovering from the ankle injury that had ruled him out of India's series against Australia Down Under last year. 

The teenage batting sensation, Shaw, has been practicing at Bangalore's National Cricket Academy (NCA) ahead of India's T20 domestic tournament, Syed Mushtaq Ali. 

In an interview with a national daily, Shaw said, "I felt sad as it was a good opportunity for me to play the quality Australian bowling line-up. I was a bit upset."

“But some things aren’t in your hands. Now I am looking forward to the Mushtaq Ali tournament to find my touch and gain my confidence back," he added. 

While attempting a catch during a warm-up match in November in Sydney, the 19-year-old landed awkwardly. As a result, he was ruled out of the four-match series and was sent to undergo rehabilitation. 

Shaw, who made his Test debut during India's home series against West Indies, has played just two Tests. He became the youngest Indian batsman to score a century on debut when he hit 134 in the Rajkot Test at the age of 18 years, 1- months and 25 days. 

Shaw, who went on to make 70 and 33 not out in the second Test against the West Indies, was named the man of the series, which the hosts swept 2-0.
