BCCI rules out Director of Cricket role for VVS Laxman

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed after the board's review meeting on 3 September that the board has no intention of creating a Director of Cricket position. Media reports suggesting Laxman would take the role were dismissed.

The clarification came during the same meeting that discussed Rohit Sharma's ODI future and player workload management. Laxman continues in his role as head of the Centre of Excellence.

The board is focusing on structural adjustments within existing positions rather than adding new layers of oversight.
