The head coach of the Indian cricket team Ravi Shastri spent some quality time with Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar in London on Monday. The duo was seen together after the Indian team landed in London ahead of India’s crucial tour of England. Team India departed for its away tour on Saturday.

Team India will now travel to Ireland for a couple of T20s before returning to England for a series comprising of three T20Is, three ODIs, and five Tests. Arjun Tendulkar is currently a part of the India A squad which will play two four-day matches in Sri Lanka. However, it’s not the first time that the Tendulkar Jr. has been seen with the Indian team.

Meanwhile, before departing for England Shastri attended a press conference in New Delhi where he made it clear that the Indian team is looking to make most of the upcoming challenge. He described, “From a preparation point of view, it is ideal. The players will get to play the limited-overs leg first, first, the T20Is, followed by the ODIs. By the time, the Test matches commence, almost after a month, we will have plenty of time to get used to the conditions there.”
