New Delhi. India opener Prithvi Shaw is all set to make his county debut with Northamptonshire County Cricket Club (NCCC) on Friday.

Indian team’s 23-year-old opener Prithvi Shaw will be seen playing county in England. According to the report of Cricbuzz, Shaw was to reach England a little earlier. But for some reason his journey got delayed. Now he is all set to make his debut in county cricket.

NCCC Chief Executive Ray Payne said: “I am delighted to announce that Prithvi arrived in the UK today (Sunday) and will take part in our One-Day Cup, which begins on Friday, 4 August. An official announcement will be made on Monday. ”

The report states that Shaw has obtained NOC from the BCCI and was later allowed to skip the ongoing Deodhar Trophy Inter-Zonal ODI Championship in Puducherry.

The One-Day Cup, a 50-over competition in the domestic schedule of the England and Wales Cricket Board, begins on Tuesday. Northamptonshire Steelbacks have their first match against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham College, Cheltenham on Friday.

The 23-year-old Shaw will join the likes of David Willey and Andrew Tye in the Steelbacks squad.

Shaw made an impressive debut in international cricket at the age of 18, scoring a century against the West Indies. But after that this batsman deviated from his rhythm. After that memorable knock, Shaw has played only four Test matches for India apart from six ODIs and one T20 International.(IANS)
