Unfortunately, he did not get to play in the season that ensued and was ultimately released ahead of the 2022 mega-auction. MI claimed his services for INR 30 Lakhs in the auction but again, the seam-bowling all-rounder did not get game time in the actual season even as Mumbai continued to lose game after game.

In a bid to get more chances on the domestic front, Arjun parted ways with the Mumbai State Cricket Association and signed up with Goa ahead of the 2022/23 domestic season.

He made his Ranji Trophy debut against Rajasthan in December 2022 and went on to score his maiden FC ton.
