The 23-year-old batter was in brilliant form during the ongoing Royal London One Day Cup 2023, hitting a double hundred and a century for Northamptonshire. However, Shaw was ruled out of the tournament after he sustained a knee injury while fielding during a match against Durham. As per the scan results, the injury was serious and he had to withdraw from the remainder of his tenure with the cricket club.

The opener batter is undergoing treatment in the United Kingdom and he is likely to miss out on the upcoming  Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well as the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Shaw collected 429 runs at an average of 143.00 from four matches in the ongoing ODI tournament. Ahead of playing for Northamptonshire in the Royal London One Day Cup, Shaw was sure that his county debut would be amazing.

"It’s a great opportunity for me and I’m really thankful to Northamptonshire for giving me this chance to express myself here," Shaw said.

"It’s going to be amazing I think and I’m really looking forward to it."
