The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has selected Arjun Tendulkar, along with 19 other cricketers including Chetan Sakariya and Abhishek Sharma, for a 20-day camp at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

Last year, Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, made waves with a century on his debut for Goa in the Ranji Trophy.

Notably, the young players who excelled in both batting and bowling in recent domestic leagues and the Indian Premier League (IPL) have been chosen by the BCCI to participate in the camp.

The goal of the camp is to enhance the skills of these promising players and prepare them for the next level.

The selection of participants for the camp was done by the senior national selection committee, headed by Shiv Sunder Das on an interim basis. The camp, initiated by NCA’s head of cricket VVS Laxman, aims to develop versatile players across formats, including both batting all-rounders and bowling all-rounders.

Harsit Rana, earlier selected as a net bowler for the senior Indian team, has also been invited.

Regardless of modest performances in recent times, Arjun Tendulkar’s selection can be attributed to his century in the Ranji Trophy and his left-arm pace, which adds variety to the team.

The BCCI source emphasized that Tendulkar, at the age of 23, still has room to develop and was chosen based on his potential.
