The Story in Brief
VVS Laxman has said he was offered the job of Team India head coach in 2023 but turned it down for personal reasons. The BCCI Centre of Excellence head made the revelation while speaking about his career.
Laxman, a former Test batsman, is widely respected in Indian cricket. The offer came before Rahul Dravid was appointed coach. Laxman has not specified if he would consider the role in future.
The Indian Opinion
Some corners may spin this as Laxman being 'overlooked' or nursing regret. The facts are clear: he was offered and he declined. This is not a story of rejection but of choice. The real test is whether Laxman, now 49, would accept a similar offer when the next coaching cycle begins. That answer will tell us if his ambition still lies with the senior team.
