Prithvi Shaw was having a terrific stint with Northamptonshire in the One-Day Cup competition in England before he suffered a knee injury while fielding against Durham and got ruled out of the entire 2023 season.
He was sensational with the bat in the four innings he played for the side as he registered scores of 34, 26, 244, and 125*. He was also the highest run-getter after 4 games with 429 runs in his bag.
Meanwhile, he will make his return to Northamptonshire next summer as he has been roped in for the second half of the season where he will play the County Championship and One-Day Cup. Notably, other counties also showed interest in signing the batter, but he decided to go back to Northamptonshire.
In an official statement released by Northamptonshire, Prithvi Shaw expressed his excitement over his return to the club and said that he enjoyed his short stay with the team in the first season.
“I’m so excited to be heading back to Northamptonshire next summer,” Shaw said, in an official statement issued by Northamptonshire.
“Even though it was over quickly I really enjoyed my time there, it’s a great club to be a part of and I felt so welcome by everyone immediately. I can’t wait to get back over. My goal is always to help win games for the team and it was so disappointing to get injured and have to leave early this time.
“I had a few teams contacting me after the tournament wanting to talk about playing for them next year, but I feel like I still have more to achieve with Northamptonshire. They gave me the opportunity this year and I’m very happy to be coming back.”
We saw the impact Prithvi Shaw made in his short stay – Northamptonshire’s chief executive Ray Payne
Northamptonshire’s chief executive Ray Payne said that they are pleased to rope in the Indian batter for the next season. He said:
“We saw the impact Prithvi made in his short stay this year and how well he was received by supporters.
“To have secured him again for next year already and for so much of the season is really pleasing. I think he was just as keen to come back as we were to have him, so it’s worked out brilliantly.”
Meanwhile, head coach John Sadler said that they are excited to have Prithvi Shaw back for the next season as he was incredible with the bat in the 2023 season.
“He was utterly disappointed not to stay longer due to his injury as he wanted to play some red-ball cricket, so the chance for him to do this next year is really exciting for us all.”
India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey feels that the pitch at Queen’s Park Oval Stadium in Trinidad is too flat. According to Paras Mhambrey, the wicket should not be too flat because it becomes too batting-friendly. India piled up 438-10 in the 1st innings of the ongoing India vs West Indies 2nd Test. Virat Kohli (121) slammed a century and four other batsmen scored fifties. Yashasvi Jaiswal (57), Rohit Sharma (80), Ravindra Jadeja (61), and Ravichandran Ashwin (61) hit half-centuries to lead the team to a mammoth total. The Pitch Is Very Slow, Very Easy For Batting: Paras Mhambrey While speaking in the post-match press conference, India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said the pitch in IND vs WI 2nd Test is very slow and very easy for batting. “The pitch is very slow, very easy for batting. Towards the end, it started turning a bit. West Indies were defensive with the bat too. When th...
The two giants of the World Cricket India & Pakistan are going to clash against each other on 15th October at Ahmedabad. Wasim Akram stated that there is no need of making an issue of the venue. Wasim Akram made it clear that Pakistan players have no objection to the Ahmedabad venue. Pakistan are yet to defeat India in the ICC World Cup contest. Pakistan recently won ODI Series against New Zealand and asserted their dominance. The management needs to manage the workload of Shaheen Afridi smartly as he is quite injury prone. Pakistan side is way too much dependent on the skipper Babar Azam to score runs. The peculiarity of Pakistan is that they have got a lethal bowling attack as the likes of Haris Rauf , Naseem Shah & Hasan Ali along with Shaheen Afridi as the troika can be dangerous on the given day. India & Pakistan have got huge pedigree ...
Mike Trout and Matt Thaiss delivered two-run singles during the Angels’ five-run fifth inning, and Shohei Ohtani hit his 16th homer in Los Angeles’ 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. Taylor Ward also homered for the Halos, who began their six-game homestand by overcoming an early 4-0 deficit in the Cubs’ first visit to Angel Stadium since 2016. Ohtani’s fourth-inning solo homer was the Angels’ first hit, but the umpires didn’t immediately realize his blast had cleared the yellow line on the right-field fence, forcing Ohtani to sprint to third. Mike Tauchman had a two-run single and Matt Mervis followed with a two-run double in the second inning for the Cubs, who have lost four of six. Chicago is 2-3 on its 10-game California road trip. Tyler Anderson (3-1) overcame that rough second inning to pitch five innings of five-hit ball for the Angels, walking three and striking out five. Chris Devenski escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the seventh before striki...
