VVS Laxman Calls it Quits: NCA on the Hunt for New Leader.

Laxman, the legendary Indian batsman and current head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), is set to step down later in 2024. This news comes as a surprise to many fans who have admired Laxman’s contribution to nurturing young Indian cricketing talent during his tenure. But what are Laxman’s reasons for leaving, and what does this mean for the future of the NCA?

But is this the end of Laxman’s cricketing journey? Not quite!

VVS Laxman Back in the Commentary Box (For a Short While)

Laxman reportedly plans to return to the commentary box for a brief period. His insightful cricketing knowledge and experience will surely be a welcome addition to the commentary panels. However, this seems to be a temporary detour before Laxman takes a well-deserved break from the cricketing world.

There’s one more twist in the tale, though!

One Last Hurrah with Team India

Before hanging up his boots (metaphorically speaking!), Laxman is said to be committed to coaching the Indian team on their upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. This gives him a chance to share his expertise with the next generation of players on the field and potentially guide them to victory.

Who’s Next for the NCA?

With Laxman’s departure, the BCCI will be on the lookout for a new NCA chief. The ideal candidate will need strong cricketing knowledge, leadership qualities, and a passion for nurturing young talent. This is a crucial role in shaping the future of Indian cricket, so the BCCI will likely have a tough choice to make.

What do you think? Who would be a good fit to replace VVS Laxman as the head of the NCA?
