VVS Laxman has been named batting consultant by the Cricket Association of Bengal as part of its Vision 2020 project, which aims to help Bengal players progress to the national team. In March, Muttiah Muralitharan had been named as Bengal's spin bowling consultant.
"Over the period of next year, I'll be coming here for at least 30 days. We'll work out what's best for myself as well as the youngsters," Laxman told reporters at the Eden Gardens. "The ultimate aim for a batsman is to score runs. Run making is also a technique along with the skill. I'm looking forward to contribute."
Laxman said he was working with Bengal mainly due to Sourav Ganguly, who is currently joint secretary of the CAB. "It's because of him that I'm here. He persuaded me to take up this role. Really excited to see the young talents on display."
Ganguly said that Laxman will be working with Bengal players at all levels. "He's here for the Vision 2020 not for the senior (Ranji) side," Ganguly said. "Ashok Malhotra is there for the senior team. Everybody who's there with the senior team are also associated with Vision 2020. Laxman is for the development of players of Bengal."
