Arjun Tendulkar with India coach Ravi Shastri
Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun joined Team India's first training session in England on Monday and was seen bowling fast in the nets after getting some valuable tips from national team coach Ravi Shastri.
Arjun, son of the legendary cricketer, was selected in India's under-19 squad for the tour of Sri Lanka in July. And he will be returning to the country as he has to undergo an U-19 camp at the National Cricket Academy under WV Raman and Sanath Kumar ahead of the tour of Sri Lanka.
The 18-year-old left-arm fast bowler has only been picked for the two four-day matches in Sri Lanka, and has not made the cut for the five-match ODI squad.
The cricketer was part of a group of U-19 cricketers who underwent a month-long camp in Dharamsala in April this year.
India coach Ravi Shastri offered some "words of wisdom" to the 18-year-old left-arm fast bowler.
Arjun has often trained with the Indian team and last year, bowled to the England Test team. Last year, he bowled to the likes of Kohli and his Indian team-mates in the nets at the Wankhede stadium.
"Words of wisdom from @RaviShastriOfc for young Arjun Tendulkar," the BCCI tweeted alongside a photograph of Shastri and Arjun.
The Indian team landed in London ahead of the crucial tour of England. The team will travel to Ireland for a couple of T20s before returning to England for a series comprising of three T20Is, three ODIs and five Tests.
