Arjun Tendulkar, the son of Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar, has been selected in the South Zone squad captained by Mayank Agarwal for the upcoming Deodhar Trophy inter-zonal 50-over competition.

The tournament is scheduled to take place in Puducherry from July 24. The squad consists of top performers from the states in the south zone, with a few players like B Sai Sudharsan being kept on standby due to their participation in the Emerging Asia Cup in Colombo from July 13-23.

Arjun Tendulkar, known for his left-arm fast-medium bowling and hard-hitting lower-order batting, made his debut for the Mumbai Indians in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League.

He has also been invited by the BCCI to participate in an Emerging All-Rounders' camp in August. In the South Zone squad, Arjun will join the pace attack alongside Vidwath Kaverappa and Vyshak Vijaykumar from Karnataka, as well as V Koushik.

During his time with the Goa team, Arjun emerged as the joint-highest wicket-taker, claiming eight scalps in seven matches. 

South Zone squad: Mayank Agarwal (Captain), Rohan Kunnummal (vice-captain), N Jagadeesan (wicketkeeper), Rohit Rayadu, KB Arun Karthik, Devdutt Padikkal, Ricky Bhui (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, V Kaverappa, V Vyshak, Kaushik V, Mohit Redkar, Sijomon Joseph, Arjun Tendulkar, Sai Kishore.
