According to reports the former India U-19 captain Prithvi Shaw has been ruled out. He will be out of action for another 3 to 4 months due to a knee injury. The 23-year-old batter was in exceptional form, scoring 244 runs and an unbeaten knock of 125 runs in two out of his four appearances in the One-Day Cup before the injury occurred during a game against Durham.

It is understood that the 23-year-old still has swelling in his knee and an Indian board official confirmed that the will take three or four months to rehab and recover completely. It has been revealed that he had a damaged PCL. Shaw’s return to competitive cricket might take longer than previously. He has not been in action for the Men in Blue side as well. Shaw was not being picked for the Asian Games also.

An MRI was done after he got injured: Indian Cricket Board

According to the Indian Cricket Board source, "An MRI was done after he got injured and it revealed a Grade-II tear of the posterior cruciate ligament. He was sent to the NCA where we found that there is still swelling in his knee. We have decided to consult Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala in this case. It will take at least four months for him to play competitive cricket again."

The Indian Cricket Board is consulting experts to decide whether Shaw requires surgery or will heal his injured knee naturally. The Cricket Board had allowed Shaw to skip the Deodhar Trophy and fly to England to play domestic cricket there. He has represented India in five Tests, six ODIs, and a single T20I. His performance in the 2023 IPL season for Delhi Capitals was decent. Following the premature end of his county cricket stint, Shaw expressed his disappointment but expressed his willingness to return to Northamptonshire next summer.

After his injury stated, "I’m so excited to be heading back to Northamptonshire next summer. Even though it was over quickly, I really enjoyed my time there. It’s a great club to be a part of and I was welcomed by everyone immediately. I can’t wait to get back."
