• Arjun Tendulkar gets involved in England’s training session

London, Jul 15 (Agencies) : England’s batsmen faced a familiar name as they trained in the nets before the second Ashes Test, with Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun taking part in the session.

The teenager, tipped by Wasim Akram to have a big future in the game, was pictured in action against Ben Stokes in the nets at Lord’s.

Talking to NDTV in May, Akram said Arjun was an enthusiastic learner. “He is a 15-year-old who is like any other kid in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka – he’s very enthusiastic about his cricket. He’s a left-arm medium-pacer and I gave him some tips on the game.

Arjun Tendulkar takes some advice from England bowling coach Ottis Gibson.

“I told him a little bit about fitness, on wrist positioning and I explained to him how to bring the ball back onto the right-hander. He had a lot of questions for him and is very passionate about the game, and that is always a good sign.”
