2021 இல் NCA இல் இணைந்த VVS லக்ஷ்மண், பிரதான தலைமைப் பயிற்சியாளர் ஓய்வு கோரும் பட்சத்தில் இந்தியப் பயிற்சியாளர் கடமைகளையும் முன்னறிவித்து வருகிறார்.
Former Indian batting maestro VVS Laxman will continue to helm the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for at least another year, dashing hopes of IPL franchises eyeing his coaching acumen. Laxman’s initial three-year term was set to conclude in September, but the BCCI has decided to retain his services for the development of young cricketers.
No IPL contract for Laxman!
The decision to extend Laxman’s tenure comes amidst reports of an IPL franchise showing keen interest in appointing him as head coach. There were many reports of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) of roping in the ‘Very Very Special’ Laxman in a mentorship role. However, the NCA’s crucial role in nurturing future cricketing talent has taken precedence.
The announcement coincides with the upcoming inauguration of a state-of-the-art NCA campus on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The long-awaited facility, for which the foundation was laid in 2022, is set to provide world-class infrastructure for the holistic development of cricketers. The new NCA will also see Olympic athletes train and receive world-class recovery.

This experienced team is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Indian cricket.

As the architect of the NCA’s future, he is expected to play a crucial role in producing the next generation of cricketing stars.
