The squad is made of the best performers from each south zone state. Arjun Tendulkar made it to the squad after impressing in domestic circuit as well as in this year’s Indian Premier League.

And the move has paid off so far. Arjun Tendulkar made his debut for Goa in December last year and made an instant impact by scoring a century on his Ranji Trophy debut as he emulated his famous father’s feat. The left-arm pacer made a big impact in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, India’s premier 50-over inter-state competition.

He finished the competition as Goa’s highest wicket-taker. Arjun picked up 8 wickets while maintaining an economy-rate of less than 5. The performance has helped him earn a spot in the South Zone squad. He will be a part of the pace attack that has the likes of Vidwath Kaverappa, Vyshak Vijaykumar along with V Koushik. With Arjun being a left-arm pacer, the South Zone attack will have more variety.
