BCCI can hand over important responsibility to VVS Laxman

BCCI is going to hand over important responsibility to former Indian cricket legend VVS Laxman. Ajit Agarkar's tenure as Chairman of the Senior Selection Committee is about to end in September and the coaching setup of the national team is also being reviewed, in such a situation the board can make some major changes. If sources are to be believed, Laxman can be given the responsibility of Director of Cricket. Meanwhile, news is also coming out that BCCI can extend Agarkar's tenure till June 2027.

The scope of work will increase

If the BCCI takes this step, it will significantly expand the scope of Laxman's existing responsibilities at the 'Centre of Excellence' in Bengaluru, where he is overseeing the player development and high-performance programme. However, BCCI has not yet given any official confirmation in this regard.

Laxman has already been closely associated with the senior team and has also played the role of interim coach when needed. Recently, he led the young Indian team to a 3-0 T20I series win in Zimbabwe while Gautam Gambhir and his regular support staff were rested after the England tour.

What is 'Director of Cricket'?

Let us know what VVS Laxman will have to do if he plays the role of Director of Cricket. Actually, the actual responsibilities will depend on the final structure of BCCI, but the role of 'Director of Cricket' could put Laxman at the center of India's major cricket operations.

This role may involve coordination between the senior team, selectors, coaches, 'Centres of Excellence' and different stages of India's player pathway. It could also bring greater consistency in areas such as talent identification, player development and high-performance planning. This will be a natural extension of the work that Laxman is already doing in the CoE, where he has worked with players from the senior and pathway systems.
