Former Indian batsman VVS Laxman will continue to be the head of the National Cricket Academy. His tenure will be extended for one year. Laxman’s three-year contract expires next month in September.
Earlier it was being said that he could become the head coach of a franchise for next year’s IPL season. Laxman has rejected all these possibilities and accepted the proposal to extend his tenure as NCA chief. Along with him, the tenure of his colleagues Sitashu Kotak, Sairaj Bahutule and Rishikesh Kanitkar will also be extended. Laxman was handed over the command of NCA in the year 2021 by Sourav Ganguly while he was the President of BCCI. NCA is going to shift to new campus
The National Cricket Academy will now shift to the new campus. Earlier it was being operated in Chinnaswamy Stadium. The new state-of-the-art NCA complex will have at least 100 pitches, including 45 indoor pitches. It includes three international-size grounds, a modern rehabilitation center, housing facilities and many other facilities apart from Olympic-size pools. All these works in the National Cricket Academy are in their final stages. Players are likely to get all these facilities from the beginning of next year. Laxman was given the responsibility after Dravid became the head coach
Before Laxman, Rahul Dravid had the responsibility of NCA. After Dravid was made the head coach of Team India in the year 2021, the responsibility of NCA was handed over to Laxman. During his first three-year tenure at NCA, Laxman has prepared a great roadmap for injury management, player rehabilitation, coaching programs and women’s cricket with senior team-junior team.
