Batting great and current director National Cricket Academy (NCA) VVS Laxman is likely to continue as India head coach for the T20I series against England beginning later this month. Laxman was coached an Indian team lead by Hardik Pandya in two T20Is against Ireland last month with regular coach Rahul Dravid busy with the Test squad gearing up for the ongoing contest at Edgbaston.
