Laxman's NCA stint ends in September, can BCCI retain him in set-up?

VVS Laxman, the former batting coach, is reportedly hesitant to become the Indian team's head coach due to his stint as NCA's 'Head of Cricket' ending in September. Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir is considered the preferred candidate, but it is unclear whether secretary Jay Shah has spoken to the national team's senior stars about Gambhir's acceptability.
