The Story in Brief
Former India batter VVS Laxman did not take over as head coach after Rahul Dravid's exit, a former player has revealed. Laxman, currently in charge of the National Cricket Academy, reportedly turned down the role. The revelation comes as Team India prepares for a two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting August 15 at Galle. Both sides aim to strengthen their positions in the World Test Championship standings.

The constant chatter about 'who deserves the coach's chair' ignores a simple truth: top roles are not always a promotion. Laxman's decision to stay with the National Cricket Academy shows he values system-building over the spotlight. The real test will be whether the BCCI finds a coach who can match Dravid's quiet authority without the fanfare.
