Northamptonshire County News

Home is always a safe place to hunt and so it has been for Prithvi Shaw in the ensuing Irani Trophy. After a horrid time in the County circuit in the United Kingdom, the Mumbaikar announced himself with a huge six that threatened a cameraman on duty on the fourth day of the encounter.

The Northamptonshire Cricket Club announced the return of Yuzvendra Chahal for one One Day Cup match and the remaining five County Championship matches this season. While the side have no chance to make the knockout cut, Chahal’s presence for the List A games would bolster their line-up.

The match between Northamptonshire and Gloucestershire failed to see even one innings getting completed as constant downpour meant both of them had to satisfy themselves with a stalemate. However, the result meant that the two teams had managed to finish in the top three and earn promotions.
