BY SACNILK
Since Indian U-19 team has been announced, there is a lot of talk about Legendary Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar, who also selected in the squad for Sri Lanka tour.## All eyes will be on him Arjun Tendulkar when India will take on Sri Lanka. However, India's U-19 new bowling coach Sanath Kumar said that he will be treated like other players in the team.## When he was asked how will Arjun be treated in the team as there has already been a lot of talk about his selection, to which Sanath Kumar told PTI,## "I don't know about that as it's not my area of concern but as a coach, all the boys are equal for me. For me, Arjun is no different from other kids. My job is to bring the best out of each and every one of them."## Kumar has successfully coached smaller states as Assam to Ranji Trophy semi-finals and Andhra to Vijay Hazare semi-finals and will be coaching a national team for the second time as he had already coached Indian women's team in 2008.## "I worked as a coach with Indian women's team in 2008 during their tour of England. This time I am contracted to work till the end of the U-19 Asia Cup in Bangladesh in October," Kumar told.## However, Sanath Kumar believes that it's not possible to work a lot on technique in short span of time but he will be keen to work more on the strategic part.## "Look, in a short span of time, you can't really work a lot on the technical aspect as they will be playing matches. I would like to focus more on the strategic part. Would like to prepare the boys for match situations with simulations," he said.## "For any fast bowler, the more he can land the ball on the seam, the more effective he can be. So landing the ball on the seam and how to use the crease, bowling closer to the stumps are certain aspects I would like to focus during the camp," Kumar said.## Keep in mind, Sanath Kumar named coach of the U-19 team in the place for Paras Mhambrey, who is on India A duty for England tour.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.
