The 23-year-old is currently out of India contention and it is understood that people close to him have advised him to have a stint in the UK in order to tighten up his technique and also get back into the groove by playing matches continuously over a period of time.
“Yes, Prithvi will be leaving once he finishes his Duleep Trophy assignment for West Zone. He is likely to play the July 19-22 game against Somerset if all goes well,” a source close to the cricketer told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
It is expected that the dashing opener will play the entire Royal London Cup one-day tournament for the Northants. Shaw, who had scored a mammoth 379 in a Ranji game against Assam, didn’t have a great IPL for Delhi Capitals.
With the kind of talent he is, one expects that the county stint will help get his mojo back and be in national contention post-ODI World Cup when another round of transition would take place across the formats.
If Prithvi leaves for the UK after the Duleep final (July 12-16), he might miss the Deodhar Trophy inter-zonal one-day meet starting July 24. But it is expected that the BCCI brass will allow him to play in the UK where he is expected to face a better quality bowling attack in Division 1 compared to what he would get in India.
