Are we trying to say that preference would be given cricketers son or sons of millionaires who will get training in England and Australia. Are trying to start a trend of family influence in cricket just like our Politics. Lets not demoralize our new generation the future Kohlis and Rahane`s

I agree with your point, selection shall be based on performance and not on England or Australia training. But I am sure that talent will find its way and this is not the end of road for Pranav neither a success achieved for Arjun.
Pranav Dhanawade's record of 1000 runs in an inning is made in the same condition which other young players play. Arjun also must have played in similar conditions but what was his achievement??? Rejection of Pranav Dhanawade is indeed a great injustice.
who was bowling and what it does not matter, record is a record if somebody holds it against kenya or kuwait doesnt matter. The selection process should be fair/transparent. Process should encourage performance and inspire youngster.
This is usual that a Actors son or daughter enters in movies, same with Politicians however cricket or any sports is little different, sustain international level is not easy, so yes, entry may be a bit easy but to sustain throughout takes a lot.
Pranav Dhanawade's achievement is total sham, mid-wicket boundary where he hit his most sixes was mere 30 meters against bowlers who were assembled at last moment without any training. Arjun Tendulkar has played against most professional players and his achievements in terms of statistics cannot be found on net and hence unfair to say anything about him.

I would agree that Pranav is a good player and we shall see some future with him, however, it shall not be difficult for him to stay in light if he keep performing. Arjun may have had professional training already and may be one of the reason for selection. Time will clarify all doubts. wait and watch.
Did anyone checked the conditions under which he scored 1000 runs? Bowlers were mostly under 12/10 and boundaries are about 40-50 yards!!! Kids were bowling to a grown up person!!!

What has Arjun Tendulkar done to get selected in the Team? Can you show the statistics? Or he is there only because he is Saching Tendulkar's son?

Look Dhanawade might not be any good but let me assure you Arjun Tendulkar is even worse , look i am a fan of Sachin but it does not mean his son is equally good. Amitabh Bacchan and Jeetendra were successful actors then it does not mean Abhishek and Tushar Kappor will also be successful .
Heading : U-16 West Zone: Arjun Tendulkar's selection over record-holder Dhanawade angers fans
and Article says:
However, when Dhanawade slammed 1009 runs in June last year, he was a 15-year-old. According to his profile on the internet, his date of birth is May 13, 2000.
In that case, he wasn't eligible for the U-16 squad.
What is the point in publishing this article??? .. Misleading people and instigating bias and envy in people
