Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar, 18, has been picked in India’s under 19 squad for two four-day matches in Sri Lanka in July.

The left-arm seamer, who bowled at India’s senior team in the nets during the home series against New Zealand last year, has not been selected for the one-day section of the tour. He will be captained by Delhi’s Anuj Rawat in the four-day matches.

Arjun hit headlines this year by hitting a 27-ball 48 before taking four wickets with the ball in a T20 match for Cricket Club of India against Hong Kong Cricket Club.
