Shaw hit the stumps on his way down and was given out on hit-wicket.
Earlier, Northamptonshire had announced Shaw’s arrival for his maiden stint in the English county circuit through Twitter recently. “It’s a great opportunity for me and I’m really thankful to Northamptonshire for giving me this chance to express myself here,” Shaw was quoted as saying in a media release.
