14 Aug
Summary
- VVS Laxman is being considered for a new Director of Cricket role.
- The position would expand his current role as head of the CoE.
- Laxman previously declined the head coach position for personal reasons.
VVS Laxman, who currently leads the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, is reportedly being considered for a new leadership position as Director of Cricket. This potential role, according to reports, would see his responsibilities expanded beyond his current duties at the CoE, which he has led since succeeding Rahul Dravid.
The proposed restructuring aims to enhance coordination across various cricketing facets, including the senior national team, selectors, and player development programs. Laxman's tenure as head of the CoE was recently extended through 2026, underscoring his commitment to establishing its structure and processes.
Earlier in 2024, Laxman had stated his decision to decline the head coach role due to personal reasons and his dedication to the CoE's development. He expressed a commitment to establishing world-class programs and protocols at the facility before considering other opportunities. His recent stint as interim head coach for the T20I series against Zimbabwe, which India won 3-0, also highlighted his continued involvement in national cricket.
