VVS Laxman will take charge of India's men's cricket team at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The event runs from 19 September to 4 October, with cricket scheduled between 24 September and 3 October.
Laxman serves as Director of Cricket at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence. He previously coached India at the 2023 Asian Games.
Gautam Gambhir remains unavailable because the senior team's three-match ODI series overlaps with the multi-sport event.
CricHubb Take
The overlap forces the BCCI to split its coaching resources, testing how well the two setups can operate independently during a compressed international window.
