Team India head coach Rahul Dravid was about to leave for Dubai for the Asia Cup 2022 with the team, but before that he was found to be Corona positive and he is in India. In such a situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has sent former cricketers and National Cricket Academy (NCA) head VVS Laxman to Dubai for the big tournament, who went on the Zimbabwe tour as the head coach of Team India.
There were also some players on the Zimbabwe tour, who were part of the Asia Cup 2022. According to the report of Cricbuzz, those players and VVS Laxman have reached Dubai, because Rahul Dravid is corona infected. In such a situation, there was a need for someone who can play the role of the head coach to guide the team.VVS has not reached India from Harare with a team that is not part of the Asia Cup. In such a situation, it is clear that he has left for Dubai.
However, it is not yet official that VVS Laxman will be India's provisional coach for the Asia Cup to be held in UAE from August 27 to September 11, as head coach Rahul Dravid could not travel to the UAE due to coronavirus testing. This is an unofficial arrangement, as the BCCI has not officially named Laxman, the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bengaluru, as the coach for the tournament.
