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.

Prithvi Shaw’s comeback to Northamptonshire County Cricket Club next year promises an exciting fusion of red-ball and one-day cricket action. Shaw’s return is not only eagerly anticipated by fans but also welcomed by the head coach of the team, John Sadler. Expressing his anticipation, Sadler said, “Prithvi is a phenomenal talent and what he delivered for us in such a short space of time was incredible. 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.”
As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the return of this young prodigy to the Northamptonshire fold, the 2024 season is poised to witness Prithvi Shaw’s continued journey of dominance on the pitch. With his exceptional skills and unwavering determination, Shaw’s presence is sure to add a dynamic and electrifying dimension to both the County Championship and the One-Day Cup.
