India batter Prithvi Shaw has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing One-Day Cup competition in England. He won't be taking further part in the tournament for Northamptonshire due to a knee injury that he sustained while fielding in a fixture against Durham on Sunday.

Early scan results claim that the "injury is worse than initially expected", according to a statement released by Northamptonshire.

The star player is currently being monitored by the BCCI's medical team and is set to meet a specialist in London on Friday.

Shaw finally managed to achieve his rhythm as he smashed two centuries in only four innings including a 244 off 153 balls against Somerset, the second-highest List A score in England. He recorded scores of 125*, 26, and 34 in his other three innings to become the leading run-getter (429 runs) after four games.

"In his short stint, Prithvi has made a huge impact on us as a club. It's a huge shame he won't be with us for the remainder of this competition" Northamptonshire head coach John Sadler said in a statement. "He's an extremely humble young man, he's very respectful and had been so grateful for the opportunity to represent Northamptonshire.

"As well as his performances on the field he had a huge impact in our dressing room. Nobody wanted to win games more than him and he contributed to us doing so. We wish him well and hope to see him scoring runs again soon."

The injury has come at a very unfortunate time for Shaw as he was on his way to finding his form again following a poor IPL 2023, where Delhi Capitals left him out halfway through the competition following a run of poor form.

The opening batter last was seen in action for India in July 2021 but was most recently part of the T20I squad in February this year for the series at home against New Zealand.

Due to his poor run of form with the bat in IPL 2023, he wasn't considered in the squads for Ireland T20Is and the Asian Games.

Shaw is expected to return to action in the white-ball leg of India's domestic calendar that begins with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (T20s) in October if he isn't picked in the Rest of India's squad for the Irani Cup fixture against Ranji Trophy champions Saurashtra.
