Prithvi Shaw aiming for ODI World Cup 2023?
Prior to the Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, Prithvi Shaw, who played the final of his six ODI appearances for India back in July 2021, continues to knock on selection doors.
On August 9 in Northampton, the 23-year-old smashed a record-breaking 244 against Somerset. He struck 125* off just 76 deliveries for Northamptonshire in a minor run-chase against Durham at Chester-le-Street, four days after turning in his finest List A performance.
Prithvi Shaw has not appeared for India in any international match since the team’s 2021 trip of Sri Lanka.

Prithvi Shaw will now show up for Northamptonshire on August 16 when they play their next game against Worcestershire. They will host the game at their home field in Northampton.
The deadline for first roster submissions for the 2023 World Cup is 16 days away, but the Indian Cricket Team is unsure of who will bat at position number four. There could be seven choices available to Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, indicating a tumultuous few weeks going up to the tournament.
With the controversial AMbati Rayudu vs Vijay Shankar decision made prior to the most recent World Cup, it is a typical occurrence. There won’t be a straight shootout this time. In addition to Tilak Varma, Shreyas Iyer, Kl Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill have also entered the race.
