Prithvi Shaw has been ruled out of the remainder of his stint with Northamptonshire after sustaining an injury during the One Day Cup match against Durham. Prithvi injured his knee while fielding against Durham and subsequent scan results have revealed the injury is worse than initially expected, Northamptonshire said in a statement.
Expressing support and well wishes, Shaw's close friend Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, conveyed a message of strength and recovery. «Stay strong buddy wish you a speedy recovery,» Arjun wrote on Instagram.
Prithvi Shaw's journey with Northamptonshire commenced on a brilliant note, as the 23-year-old batsman showcased his prowess by amassing an impressive total of 429 runs across four innings during the One-Day Cup 2023. Shaw's standout moment arrived in a monumental performance against Somerset on August 9, where he delivered a breathtaking knock of 244 runs off just 153 balls.
This exceptional display of skill propelled Northants to a commanding 87-run victory, leaving spectators in awe. In an official media release, Northamptonshire stated, «Prithvi injured his knee while fielding in the fixture against Durham and subsequent scan results received this morning have revealed the injury is worse than initially expected.» Shaw, whose last appearance for India was during the tour of Sri Lanka in July 2021, had also been part of the squad for the T20Is against New Zealand earlier this year.
