India internationals Ruturaj Gaikwad and Prithvi Shaw were on Thursday named in Maharashtra’s 17-member squad for the All India Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament to be played in Chennai from August 18 to September 9.
Ankit Bawane has been named captain of the squad.
It will be the first assignment for top-order batter Shaw who had left Mumbai ahead of the season and joined Maharashtra.
However, both Gaikwad and ‘keeper Saurabh Nawale are expected to leave after playing one game, as they would need to link up with the West Zone squad in Bengaluru for the Duleep Trophy.
