All eyes will be on Arjun Tendulkar when Indian colts start their campaign against Sri Lanka but for Under-19 team's new bowling coach Sanath Kumar, "he will be like any other member of the team".A revered coach in domestic circuit, Kumar will guide the fresh batch of India U-19 bowlers including Tendulkar Jr as Paras Mhambrey is on India A duty in England.Ask him about how he would handle Arjun considering his selection had garnered a lot of attention, 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 earned a reputation for successfully coaching smaller states (Assam to Ranji Trophy semi-finals, Andhra to Vijay Hazare semi-finals) and will be coaching a national team for the second time."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 informed.
However there are a few basic areas which he would have a close eye on.
The camp starts from July 1 at the NCA in Bengaluru.
