Prithvi Shaw made his One-Day debut for Northamptonshire in England Domestic One-Day Cup 2023. Shaw on his debut was holding on to one end while wickets fell from the other end but was surprised by a bouncer and ended up getting out hit wicket.
Against Netherlands fast bowler Paul van Meekeren, Shaw was surprised by the bouncer. He went for the pull shot but could not get the bat on the ball. In doing so, he lost balance as well and fell on the wickets. He got out hit wicket and looked at the bails in disbelief.

They shared an 86-run partnership McManus scored 54 runs from 65 balls including five fours and two sixes. In the next over, Ajeet Dale came back into the attack and claimed his fourth wicket. Taylor took his side close to the target with a belligerent 112-run knock but it wasn’t enough. Northamptonshire got bowled out for 255 and lost the match by 23 runs.
