With Head Coach Gautam Gambhir flying back to India due to his mother’s ill health, former great VVS Laxman—currently NCA chief—has assumed interim coaching duties for the Indian cricket team ahead of the five-match Test series in England, beginning June 20 in Leeds . Already on the ground in London with India’s Under‑19 and “A” sides, Laxman brings valuable continuity, having previously overseen team preparations during Gambhir’s absence in South Africa . Under his guidance, the new-look Test squad—captained by Shubman Gill and missing veterans Kohli and Sharma—will fine‑tune strategy in intra‑squad games ahead of the first Test. (PC: PTI)
