Prithvi Shaw was part of Northamptonshire in England's One Day Cup. The 24-year-old looked in impressive form with the bat, finishing as the leading run-getter for the team in the season. Shaw amassed 343 runs across eight innings at an average of 42.87. He notched up three half-centuries, which included a 97-run knock.
However, Northamptonshire won just two out of their eight matches, failing to qualify for the quarter-finals.
