NEW DELHI: In an interesting development, TOI has learnt that IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants management has expressed interest in roping VVS Laxman as part VVS of its coaching staff. Laxman is currently serving as National Cricket Academy (NCA) head in Bengaluru.
There is speculation that Laxman may not seek an extension at NCA from BCCI. His tenure is due to end in Sept. He was BCCI's first choice to succeed Rahul Dravid as Team India head coach but Laxman declined the offer citing his reluctance to travel so much with the team. There's nothing concrete yet. But the LSG management has had informal talks with Laxman.
