Legendary Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun was included in the U-19 side for the two four-day games against Sri Lanka which will be played in July in the island nation.

Unlike his father, the 18-year-old is a left-arm fast bowler and a handy lower middle order batsman.

Arjun has been drafted into the India squad for two four-day matches against Sri Lanka while he failed to make his place in the one-day squad.

India are scheduled to play two four-day matches and five one-day matches. The four-day squad will be lead by Delhi wicket-keeper Anuj Rawat while Uttar Pradesh batsman Aryan Juyal will skipper the one-day squad.

Tendulkar senior expressed his happiness on his son's selection in India U-19 team.

"We are happy on Arjun being selected in India U-19 team. It is an important milestone in his cricketing life. Anjali (Tendulkar) and I will always support Arjun in his choices and pray for his success," Tendulkar said.

Arjun has trained under former India fast bowler Subroto Banerjee, a close friend of Tendulkar.
