19-year-old left-arm pacer Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, has been named in the 15-member Mumbai squad for the upcoming ‘Bapuna Cup’ to be held in Nagpur. The squad, to be led by Suryakumar Yadav, was announced by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on its website.

Having represented Mumbai at the under-14s, 16s, and 19s levels, Arjun was called up to the India under-19 squad last year. The left-arm fast bowler has since been playing T20 cricket in the birthplace of cricket, England. For the MCC side, he picked up eight wickets in his last seven outings.

Arjun has also played in the T20 Mumbai League after he was bought for Rs 5 lakh. Snippets of the leftie bowling at international cricketers have often emerged in the past. The Mumbaikar has bowled to the Indian team in the nets, but it was his session with English cricketers at Lord’s captured even more attention. Jonny Bairstow left the nets with an injury scare, after being struck by a yorker from Arjun.

Now, he finds himself in the running to feature in the Bapuna Cup, a pre-season tournament organised by the Vidarbha Cricket Association. This year, it will be played in the 50-over format and will begin from September 5.
