Former India batter VVS Laxman will be the next head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), a senior BCCI official confirmed on Sunday.

Laxman will take over from his former batting colleague Rahul Dravid, who was recently appointed chief coach of the Indian team following the end of Ravi Shastri's tenure.

"VVS Laxman will be the new head of NCA," the senior BCCI official told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

Laxman has already quit his role as mentor of IPL's Sunrisers Hyderabad and will also not be part of any commentary panel or write for any newspapers to avoid conflict of interest.
