Indian young talent Prithvi Shaw is set to make County debut. It has come to light that there were some logistical delays as the cricketer faced a lot of issues. However, he is now all geared up to play his first game for Northamptonshire on Friday, August 4, against Gloucestershire in Cheltenham.
Prithvi Shaw to make his debut soon
It has been noted that Ray Payne, the Chief Executive of Northamptonshire County Cricket Club (NCCC), has already confirmed the development on Sunday and stated that an official announcement will follow on Monday.
“I am delighted to say Prithvi arrived in the UK today (Sunday) and will feature in our one-day cup starting Friday, August 4. The official announcement (will come) tomorrow (Monday),” Payne told Cricbuzz.
Shaw secured NOC to skip Deodhar Trophy from BCCI to feature in the One-Day Cup in the UK, but his continuous absence raised concerns. Meanwhile, in order to get back into the national side, Shaw will have to perform extremely well in the tournament. If he manages to put up a show in the One-Day Cup, the cricketer may once again get back into the Rohit Sharma-led side.
The 23-year-old batsman will be among a few Indian cricketers to sign for a county club this year. Cheteshwar Pujara had a remarkable run for Surrey in the County Championship Division II, while Arshdeep Singh and Navdeep Saini too had impressive moments.
Meanwhile, Ajinkya Rahane was supposed to feature for Leicestershire in the same tournament, but the cricketer pulled out to manage his workload. Shaw has played 53 List-A games so far in his career and has notched 2627 runs.
