Desk Correspondent , Mumbai - The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly reached out to VVS Laxman informally as the future of Gautam Gambhir as the Test coach remains uncertain. This move comes after a disappointing performance by the Indian team during their recent tour of South Africa. While Gambhir continues to lead the white-ball formats, the board is evaluating whether a specialist is needed to revive the team's fortunes in the longest format of the game. Laxman, who currently heads the National Cricket Academy (NCA), is seen as a strong candidate due to his deep understanding of the game.
The decision to approach Laxman reflects a growing concern within the board regarding the team's consistency in overseas Test matches. Although no official announcement has been made, the informal discussions suggest that the BCCI is looking for a long-term solution to strengthen the Test squad. A BCCI source commented on the development, saying, "VVS Laxman has been informally approached as the jury remains out on Gautam Gambhir's future as the Test coach." This potential shift highlights the high expectations placed on the coaching staff following major series losses.
Cricket fans and experts are divided on whether a split coaching system is the right move for Indian cricket. Some believe that Gambhir needs more time to implement his strategies, while others feel that Laxman's calm and technical approach is better suited for Test matches. Highlighting the pressure of the role, a senior official noted, "Performance in overseas tours is a key metric, and the recent results have forced us to consider all available options." As the board continues its internal review, the final decision will likely shape the direction of the Indian Test team for the next few years.
