In a talk with Mid-Day, Shaw explained how time off the pitch helped him get his focus entirely on cricket. According to Shaw, being mentally strong was the key to a successful return to the big stage. He accepted his fault of consuming a banned substance but wanted to look at the brighter and bigger picture, keeping in mind a return to the Indian team. He said,
Shaw spent time at the National Cricket Academy under his former Under-19 World Cup-winning coach Rahul Dravid and also shared nets sessions with certain Indian bowlers. Shaw stated,
Shaw remembered the tough times during the initial part of his ban but kept himself psychologically and physically stable to overcome this setback. He explained that the excitement before his first match after the ban was palpable in the dressing room and was full of emotions. He said,
Shaw received an eight-month suspension for consuming a prohibited substance, which ruled him out of competitive cricket until mid-November of this year. Soon after the ban, he issued the following public apology.
