Leg-spinner Astle suffered the injury during the warm-up game between the Black Caps and Board President's XI in Mumbai on Tuesday.
It was the Test format that brought the spinner into the limelight after a successful spell against Australia in Dharamshala last March.
Shaw gave glimpses of his immense talent, scoring 66 off 780 balls, to help Board President's XI comfortably beat New Zealand by 30 runs in their opening warm-up game.
Facing a senior international side for the first time, local boy Prithvi scored 66 off 80 balls with nine boundaries and a six, putting up 147 for the opening stand with KL Rahul, who contributed 68 off 75 balls.
The Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batsman said No 4 is the most suitable batting position for him and he is confident of doing well on that slot for Team India.
In the limited overs format, India defeated West Indies 3-1 in their backyard, they whitewashed Sri Lanka 5-0 in the island nation and decimated Australia 4-1.
