VVS Laxman to Be Named BCCI Director of Cricket
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
VVS Laxman is set to be named the BCCI's Director of Cricket, sources told NDTV and India TV. The new role places Laxman above head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar in the board's hierarchy. India TV reports the move is part of a major reshuffle within the BCCI. The exact scope of Laxman's powers and how they will interact with Gambhir and Agarkar's existing roles have not been detailed.
The Indian Opinion
The buzz around Laxman's elevation risks missing the real question: will this change the team's fortunes? Some frame it as a power grab, others as overdue structure. Neither side has proof. The new director's role above Gambhir and Agarkar sounds tidy on paper, but BCCI's history of overlapping roles is long. Watch how the trio handles the next major tour selection. That will tell us if the reshuffle is substance or just a new org chart.
