VVS Laxman, Head of the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence, has described India’s 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup triumph as the biggest highlight of his tenure while reflecting on his involvement with women’s cricket.
Laxman, who has led the CoE’s cricket operations since December 2021, said women’s cricket was initially outside his comfort zone but now it has become an important part of his work. He also mentioned that being involved with the team and watching its growth was an experience he would always value.
“One is understanding and being involved with women’s cricket,” Laxam told reporters on Sunday. “I think that for me was something out of my comfort zone, and out of my understanding. I think in the last four and a half years, the amount of involvement I got into women’s cricket is something which I will treasure.”
Laxman also recalled the special moment after India won their maiden ODI World Cup, saying head coach Amol Muzumdar and captain Harmanpreet Kaur wanted him to join the celebrations. “In fact, Amol and Harman wanted me to be there on the ground when we won the World Cup.”
However, he mentioned that he watched the celebrations from the BCCI box and called the triumph the biggest reward for the work they have done over a period.
“I was there in the BCCI box and I enjoyed watching from there – the whole celebration. I was probably one of the last ones to leave because, again, any vision you set in, any goal or ambition you establish, and if that bears the fruit, you feel really happy about it. So I think Indian women’s team winning the World Cup was probably the high point,” he added.
