BCCI’s One Day League and Knockout beginning February 14 in Jaipur will see Arjun Tendulkar playing for Mumbai U23 team. He made it to the 15-man squad after his performances in the DY Patil T20 Cup and RFS Talyarkhan Memorial invitation tournament. Mumbai U23 will be captained by Jay Bista.

Mumbai U-23 coach Amit Pagnis praised Tendulkar and said, “He conceded only five runs from two overs [18th and 20th overs] and also got the priced wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal [of MCA Colts],” Pagnis told Mid-Day. “He also bowled well in the two trial matches, claiming two wickets in each game. Yorkers, bouncers and slower ones are his main strengths.”  

Arjun, playing for Vijay Merchant XI against Vijay Manjrekar XI in the KC Mahindra Shield U-19 tournament, picked 6/70 in another impressive performance.

Mumbai U-23 squad:
Jay Bista (captain), Hardik Tamore (wicketkeeper), Suved Parkar, Chinmay Sutar, Siddharth Akre, Karsh Kothari, Tanush Kotian, Aquib Kureshi, Anjdeep Lad, Kruthik Hanagavadi, Akash Anand, Aman Khan, Atharva Ankolekar, Arjun Tendulkar, Sairaj Patil
