India opener Prithvi Shaw is set to miss a major chunk of the 2023-34 domestic cricket season due to a knee injury which he suffered while playing for Northamptonshire in the One-Day Cup in England.
As per a report in ESPNCricinfo, subsequent scans revealed the injury was a lot worse than initially expected. “After initially consulting a surgeon in London, Shaw returned to the NCA in Bengaluru for another assessment. At the moment, the medical team is examining all possible options regarding Shaw's treatment and surgery is likely to be the last resort,” it added.
Before the knee injury cut his stint with Northamptonshire, Shaw, 23, averaged 143 in his 4 appearances, plundering 429 runs at a strike rate of 152, with his record-breaking 244 off 153 balls against Somerset becoming the sixth highest individual score in List A history.
