Reports: VVS Laxman likely to coach India against Australia post ODI World Cup
Several reports are rife in the cricket corridor that the former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman will take charge of the Indian team for the side’s upcoming five-match T20I series against Australia. The series is scheduled to be played after the World Cup and will begin on November 23, in Vishakapatnam.
This development comes on the back of the current head coach Rahul Dravid’s possible absence from the team due to his contract ending after the conclusion of the World Cup. However, seeing team India’s performances, Dravid could well be pushing for an extension of his tenure.
“VVS Laxman has always been in charge when Rahul has taken a break and same thing is likely to continue for the series just after the World Cup,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
As time progresses, it could be interesting to see how the situation pans out for team India.
