September 10, 2026 · ESPN Cricinfo

VVS Laxman has been officially named the head coach for the Indian men's squad competing in the upcoming Asian Games. His appointment arrives amid scheduling challenges, as another international engagement runs concurrently with the multi-sport event. Gautam Gambhir will remain with India's one-day international contingent to oversee their upcoming three-game series taking place on home soil, which coincides directly with the timeline of the Asian Games competition.
