National Cricket Academy head VVS Laxman will be India's acting head coach for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe as there is only a short turnaround time between the series and the Asia Cup starting on August 27 in the UAE, BCCI secretary Jay Shah said on Friday. "Yes, VVS Laxman will be in charge of the Indian team in Zimbabwe for the three-match ODI series. It's not like Rahul Dravid is taking a break. The ODI series in Zimbabwe finishes on August 22 and Dravid along with Indian team will reach the UAE on August 23. Since there is little gap between the two events, Laxman will be in charge of the Indian squad in Zimbabwe," BCCI secretary Shah told PTI on Friday.

A key figure in the teams that won the inaugural World Test Championship and finished runners-up in three limited overs World Cups, Boult will from now on have a "significantly reduced role" with the Black Caps.
Asia Cup 2022 is all set to kick off on August 28 in the United Arab Emirates. The continental event will once again see arch-rivals India and Pakistan battle it out against each other. Given that the sides play head-to-head matches only in multi-team tournaments since January 2013, their face-off has become much more valuable in the past decade. While the sides first face each other on August 28 in the upcoming Asia Cup, chances are high that they will square off again in the later part of the tournament, not once but twice.
