The Men in Blue will have a busy schedule after the recent Test series in Sri Lanka. India will next return to T20I action with a home series against Afghanistan. With multiple assignments scheduled around the same time, the team management is expected to use a split-coaching setup for the Asian Games.
According to PTI, Sunil Joshi, Hrishikesh Kanitkar and Subhadeep Ghosh will be part of the coaching staff. Maroof Fajandar from the BCCI Cricket Operations department will serve as the “Team Leader” of the support staff. Laxman has previously coached India on multiple occasions.
