Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar’s fast bowling son Arjun has decided to leave Mumbai, according to a source. It is learnt that Tendulkar Jr will parade his skills for Goa in the upcoming domestic season.
Rumours of Arjun contemplating leaving Mumbai were doing the rounds for the last few days. However, on Thursday, Arjun applied for No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and it has been granted to him. The NOC is mandatory for a player who wishes to play for another state cricket association.

Left-arm pacer Arjun, who played two T20s for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 last season, decided to move on to another state due to lack of game-time. “It is Arjun’s decision and no one else’s. He felt that he wasn’t getting enough game-time for Mumbai. He feels he has better prospects of getting more matches at Goa,” a source close to Tendulkar told mid-day.com. Arjun has been part of the Mumbai Indians set up for the last two IPLs.
