BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly has confirmed that VVS Laxman will be taking over as the head of the NCA. Laxman highlighted that his vision extends beyond producing quality players and that a strong core of coaches is equally imperative. The cricketer-turned-commentator said, as by the Times of India: "It's still early days here at the NCA but my vision, which has found resonance with my wonderful team at the academy, revolves not just around the players. As much as it is imperative to build a strong bench that the various national teams can draw from as required, it is essential that we build a solid bench when it comes to coaches and other support personnel." The former player, who took charge of the NCA in December by succeeding Rahul Dravid, traveled with the national team to Ireland for the two-game T20 series in late June. Laxman filled in for Dravid, who oversaw the preparations of the Test side in England. He also did the same for the first of the three T20s against England.
