The son of legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun, has been picked for the national under-19 team for the two four-day games against Sri Lanka. The India Under-19 team will also play five one-day international matches in Sri Lanka in July. The 18-year-old Arjun is a left-arm fast bowler and a handy lower middle-order batsman. The master blaster expressed his happiness on his son’s selection in India U-19 team. He said,
“We are happy on Arjun being selected in India U-19 team. It is an important milestone in his cricketing life. Anjali (Tendulkar) and I will always support Arjun in his choices and pray for his success,”
However, a selection meeting became interesting as the three-member selection committee comprising Ashish Kapoor, Gyanendra Pandey and Rakesh Parikh selected Tendulkar junior for the longer version. In the 2017/18 Under-19 Cooch Behar Trophy, Arjun picked up two five-wicket hauls and a four-wicket haul against MP.
