Young batsman Prithvi Shaw dismissed speculations that indiscipline forced his premature return from the Australia tour and insisted that it was only because of slow recovery from an ankle injury.

However the 19-year-old was sent back and it was widely believed that it was because the youngster was losing focus.
"These are rumours, so I will better let it go," Prithvi said during an open media session of Delhi Capitals on Saturday.

I thought I could play the third Test (in Melbourne) but then progress of recovery was slow," said the Mumbai opener, who hit a hundred on his Test debut.
