VVS Laxman not to accompany team India for Ireland series

Team India are all set to face off against Ireland in their upcoming three-match T20I series that is scheduled to begin on Friday, August 18. The Indian team will depart for Dublin on August 15, and recent developments suggest that the head of the coaching staff, VVS Laxman, will not be accompanying the side for the series.

As head coach Rahul Dravid and the majority of the coaching staff are in the USA for the ongoing T20I series between the West Indies and India, VVS Laxman was anticipated to accompany team India as they travel to Ireland for the three-match series.

However, a recent change in plans suggests that the same will not be the case. Instead of Laxman, members of the support staff, Sitanshu Kotak and Sairaj Bahutule will be accompanying the side in the series.
