As per the latest developments, scan results have suggested that Shaw's injury is worse than initially expected. Keeping an eye on Shaw's latest injury setback, the medical team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be in contact with a specialist in London on Friday.

It’s a huge shame he won’t be with us for the remainder of this comp.” Head Coach John Sadler was quoted as saying. “He’s an extremely humble young man, he’s very respectful and had been so grateful for the opportunity to represent Northamptonshire.”
