Former India batter VVS Laxman is believed to not travel with the national team on the upcoming three T20Is tour of Ireland as the head of the coaching staff, according to several media reports.

Reports suggest Laxman was anticipated to take charge of the coaching staff in Ireland as head coach Rahul Dravid and his team, who are currently in the USA for the last phase of the bilateral T20I series against West Indies, will head back to India.
