“It’s a great club to be a part of, and I felt so welcome 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.” Shaw’s return to NCCC next year will be for both the County Championship and the One-Day Cup.
NCCC head coach John Sadler expressed his eagerness to welcome him back to the side.
“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.”
