VVS Laxman News / BCCI again gave a big responsibility to VVS Laxman, he will be seen in this role

VVS Laxman News: The players of the Indian cricket team are preparing for the domestic tournament these days. At the same time, Team India will return to international cricket in the month of September. Meanwhile, the BCCI has given a big responsibility to former Team India batsman VVS Laxman. VVS Laxman will extend his tenure as the head of the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for at least one year. His initial contract for three years expires in September 2024. In such a situation, the BCCI had to take a decision for this post and they have extended Laxman's tenure.

Laxman will get the support of these veterans

Laxman's name was being put forward by an IPL franchise for the post of head coach, but now he will again take over his post at the NCA. In such a situation, he will not have any role in the IPL. He is likely to be assisted by a team of coaches, which includes Shitanshu Kotak, Sairaj Bahutule and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, all veterans of Indian domestic cricket. Laxman's contract extension comes ahead of the inauguration of a new state-of-the-art NCA complex on the outskirts of Bengaluru, the foundation of which was laid in January 2022, 14 years after the Karnataka government approved the land for the complex. It has been given to the BCCI on a 99-year lease.

The new NCA will have at least 100 pitches. Of which 45 pitches are with indoor facilities. It has three international-size grounds, a modern rehab center, housing facilities and Olympic-size pools, among many other facilities. The construction of the new NCA is in its final stages. This NCA is likely to be operational from early next year. During his first three-year tenure at the NCA, Laxman carried forward the processes laid down by his colleague Rahul Dravid to prepare a roadmap for injury management, player rehab, coaching schedules and women's cricket.
