The Indian cricketers had their first training session in England today but making heads turn, for obvious reasons, was Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun, who ran in and bowled fast in the nets organized for Virat Kohli’s men. Indian cricket coach Ravi Shastri offered some “words of wisdom” to the 18-year-old fast bowler. Arjun, son of the legendary cricketer, was selected in India’s under-19 team for the tour of Sri Lanka in the month of July. And he will be returning to India as he has to undergo a U-19 camp at the National Cricket Academy under WV Raman and Sanath Kumar ahead of the tour of Sri Lanka. Arjun has only been selected for the two four-day matches in Sri Lanka and did not make the cut for the five-match ODI team. The cricketer was part of a squad of U-19 cricketers who underwent a month-long camp at Dharamshala in April this year. Arjun has often trained with the Indian team and last year bowled to the England Test team. Last year, he bowled to 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 Ravi Shastri and Arjun Tendulkar. The Indian team landed in London ahead of the important tour of England. The team will then travel to Ireland for a couple of T20s before returning to England for a series consisting of three T20Is, three ODIs, and five Tests.
