Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar likely to leave Mumbai; apply for NOC

 

While the legend and the God of cricket Sachin Tendulkar made his Indian team debut at just the age of 16-years-old, his Arjun Tendulkar is yet to even confirm his place in the Mumbai domestic team and, while he is a member of the Mumbai Indians team, is yet to make his IPL debut.

Sachin Tendulkar made history when he made his Indian cricket team debut at the age of just 16-years-old a couple of decades back. He is considered as probably the greatest cricketer ever to have graced the game. Tendulkar till date is the only player ever to 100 International Centuries in his career, only Virat Kohli is closest to him, but still, more than 25 centuries away to even equal that record.

The world of cricket, especially the Indian cricket fans had a special hope from Sachin's son Arjun Tendulkar. The left-arm bowler is also a good batsman, and could still be a great addition to the Indian team, especially when India is lacking those special left-arm bowlers.

But, Arjun's career has not gone well so far. At the age of 22, soon to be 23, Arjun has featured in 2 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy matches for Mumbai, and while is a member of the Mumbai Indians team for 2 years now, he is yet to make his debut.

Arjun's development has been halted due to lack of game-time. As such, a latest report on Sportstar confirms that the youngster has asked for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association to leave the team. The report adds that he could be joining the Goa team.

A official to Sportstar even confirmed that while it is not done yet, but, once Arjun appear in Goa's trial to be held in New Delhi on 17th August, a decision could be taken only after that.
