Amid the uncertainty surrounding Gautam Gambhir's future, Laxman has emerged as a strong contender for a bigger role in Indian cricket. According to reports, the 51-year-old is not only interested in succeeding Gambhir as head coach but is also the frontrunner to replace Ajit Agarkar as India's chief selector. While BCCI officials are reportedly keen on handing him the selector's role, it remains to be seen whether Laxman is willing to accept the position or continue waiting for the head coach's job.
Under Ajit Agarkar, there have been concerns with senior players' roles and clarity, and even some senior cricketers have not been taken into consideration despite repeated performances in domestic cricket and the IPL.
Will VVS Laxman take up the chief selector role?
During a discussion on the RevSportz YouTube channel, the journalists claimed that the BCCI had previously made several changes to facilitate Ajit Agarkar's appointment as chief selector.
It was further stated that Laxman's current role at the CoE is understood to be more lucrative than the chief selector's position. However, it was claimed that the BCCI could revise the chief selector's salary structure to make the role more attractive if they decide to appoint the former India batter.

Tripathi added that if the BCCI offers Laxman the chief selector's role instead, the former India batter could seriously consider accepting it. He also explained why the position may appeal to Laxman beyond financial considerations.
“Another factor is that as a head coach, you have to travel constantly. But as a selector, you don't have to travel regularly. That offers a lot more comfort. VVS Laxman has never been too keen on frequent travel, so that could work in his favor. However, as I also wrote in my report, all of this is still at the discussion stage.”
