Prithvi Shaw, the talented Indian top-order batter, is all set to participate in the English County One-Day Cup, starting from August 1st. Despite delivering match-winning performances in first-class cricket, he has been sidelined from the Indian national team since his last ODI game in 2021 against Sri Lanka.
However, now he has the opportunity to showcase his skills in the English County championship. Shaw’s impressive record includes 2627 runs in 53 List-A games and an average of above 50 with 3802 runs in 44 first-class matches. His chances in the national team seemed uncertain after his performance in the first BGT test in 2021 at Adelaide.
Exciting young opening batter, Prithvi Shaw, is all set to display his skills in the renowned Royal London Cup, commencing on August 1st. Representing Northamptonshire in Group B, he promises to bring his blazing form to the tournament.
The Northamptonshire County Cricket Club is thrilled with their latest acquisition of the dynamic Indian batter. The official announcement of Prithvi Shaw’s signing will be made on August 1st. He has already arrived in the UK and will join the team for the one-day cup, which begins on Friday, August 4. The official confirmation will be shared tomorrow, Monday.
Amidst numerous discussions regarding Shaw’s involvement in the County league and the Deodar Trophy, the player ultimately made the decision to prioritize the County League. Despite being scheduled for the Deodar Trophy, he chose to skip it in favor of participating in the County League, and the BCCI granted him permission to do so.
Furthermore, this tournament could serve as a breakthrough opportunity for the talented batter, considering he has been excluded from the BCCI’s plans for a considerable period. A strong showing in the One-day Cup would enhance his prospects of making it into the national side squad.
