Arjun participated in two Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy games for Mumbai Indians in the 2020–21 season.
Digital Desk: Arjun Tendulkar, the son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, is set to leave Mumbai and will most likely play for Goa in the upcoming cricket domestic season.
The 22-year-old left-arm pacer, who has also played for IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, has appeared in two Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy games for Mumbai, against Haryana and Puducherry, respectively, during the 2020-21 season. Junior Tendulkar has already applied for a No Objection Certificate (NoC) from his home association, MCA.
"Arjun's career depends on him getting as much game time as possible on the field. We believe that the change will increase Arjun's chances of appearing in more competitive matches. He is starting a new chapter in his cricket career. "SRT Sports Management made the announcement in a statement.
Tendulkar has played two 'Tests' for India U-19 against Sri Lanka three summers ago and is still a Mumbai probable for the white ball leg of the domestic season.
Arjun's biggest disappointment this season has been being dropped from the Mumbai squad without being given a chance to prove his worth.
People who have followed his development believe he has the right attitude and work ethic, but he needs consistent game time to show what he is capable of.
He was recently a member of the Mumbai Indians' developmental squad, which played a number of T20 games in England.
Kumar Kartikeya, Anmolpreet Singh, Ramandeep Singh, and Dewald Brevis were all part of the squad that played T20 games against club sides.
A senior Goa Cricket Association (GCA) official acknowledged that junior Tendulkar is expected to be considered among the state's pre-season probables.
"We've been looking for left-handed bowling talent as well as middle-order players with multiple skills." In this context, we invited Arjun Tendulkar to join the Goa team. We'll be playing pre-season trial matches (white ball), and he'll be there. The selectors will then make a decision based on his performance. Suraj Lotlikar, President of the Goa CA, stated
Sunil Gavaskar's son Rohan, who moved to Bengal as an 18-year-old and finished as one of the state's highest run-getters and captained in multiple seasons, was among the other Indian cricket legends from Mumbai whose sons have plied their trade for other states.
When it comes to Goa, another former Indian captain's son appeared briefly before Tendulkar's son.
Mohammed Azahrauddin's son, Mohammed Asaduddin, appeared in a couple of Ranji Trophy games during the 2018 season.
