Over the past two days, VVS Laxman has been seen with the Indian team and around them, but there is nothing official about his presence in England. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not officially assigned him a role in England, despite varying accounts from various sources of his trip to England. Laxman is still very much a part of the Indian cricket system as an expert in red-ball cricket and someone who is officially associated with the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. He might talk to the coaches of the Indian team and give them his thoughts on playing in England, but nothing more or less. He may leave England soon, possibly within a day or two, according to reports. Laxman has appeared in 34 first-class matches in England, including 11 Tests in three tours, in 2002, 2007 and 2011, respectively. 16 of his 23 FC appearances there were for Lancashire between the County competitions of 2007 and 2009. The remaining seven games pitted Indian touring teams against Lions, county teams, and other teams. He was not on assignment with the Indian team and went there for some other reason. "He came from Lausanne to London," a BCCI source stated. "The goal is to win in England, and he may have spoken with the coaches and selectors present here, and maybe even attended the intra-squad game," added another source. However, he has no official position on this team. "He went to Switzerland and simply stopped by in London to spend time with the boys," a further source stated. He had always planned for it." It has been learned that Laxman attended a conference in Switzerland. A message asking for his opinion was not answered by Laxman. Laxman's presence around the Indian team in London coincided with the absence of head coach Gautam Gambhir, who returned to Delhi to care for his mother after she was recently admitted to the hospital. This has sparked some curiosity about Laxman. The head coach is expected to return to the team in England within the next three days, if not as early as Monday, according to rumor. "Before the first Test, he will unquestionably rejoin the team. He has spoken with the doctors about his mother's condition, which has improved despite the fact that she is still in the intensive care unit. "However, he will plan his return soon," a Gambhir-related source stated. The first Test will begin on June 20 in Leeds. India, who completed a practice match against India A in Beckenham, will have a day off on June 16 and will travel to Leeds on the 17th.
