New Delhi: Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar will mentor 11 emerging players, including Parveez Rasool and Unmukt Chand, as part of an initiative by a sports apparel company.
The company, which has already signed up Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina, added some more names to its roster.
Tendulkar welcomed the newest members of the team – Unmukt Chand, Parveez Rasool, Vijay Zol, Manan Vohra, Manpreet Juneja, Rush Kalaria, Chirag Khurana, Akshdeep Nath, Vikas Mishra, Sarfaraz Khan and Aparajith Baba.
“This is a great initiative to support the future of this sport, which encourages aspiring athletes to follow their passion and be part of an extraordinary league. Mentoring these talented young cricketers will let me be close to what I love and give back to the sport,” Tendulkar, who retired from international cricket late last year, was quoted as saying in a press release issued by the firm.
The 21-year-old Unmukt, is the former captain of the 2012 Under-19 World Cup champion team and played for the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL last year.
Rasool, 25, is the first Jammu and Kashmir cricketer to represent the Indian senior team.
Most recently, he captained his state team to the Ranji trophy knock-out phase. (PTI)
