Setback for Prithvi Shaw as knee injury forces early exit from Northamptonshire stint

Shaw made a blazing start to his stint with Northants. In just four matches, he smashed two centuries. His highlight was a remarkable 244 off 153 balls against Somerset, which is now the second-highest List A score in England. Across his other three innings, Shaw notched scores of 125*, 26, and 34 and he was the top scorer with 429 runs after four matches.

Northamptonshire’s head coach, John Sadler, was disappointed with the unfortunate injury and spoke about the positive influence the young cricketer had both on and off the field. “In his short stint, Prithvi has made a huge impact on us as a club,” Sadler remarked. He also spoke about Shaw’s humility, respectfulness, and always being dedicated to the team’s success.

Shaw’s injury comes at a crucial time since he was looking to make a comeback into national continental after a below par IPL 2023 season where he was eventually dropped from the Delhi Capitals squad due to poor form.
