The Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Niranjan Shah said on Thursday that the Indian team for the tri-series would be selected in Mumbai on July 20. Skipper Rahul Dravid will attend the meeting and the team will leave for Colombo on August 10.

 

Regarding Sachin Tendulkar’s availability, Shah said that the board was awaiting a fitness report from team physio John Gloster who would be in Mumbai on Friday.

 

Meanwhile, the BCCI said all matches in the forthcoming triangular ODI series featuring India, South Africa and hosts Sri Lanka will be played in Colombo starting from August 14.

 

Dambula was originally scheduled to host first four games, but the infighting between two rival groups in the upcoming Sri Lanka Cricket Board elections called for a change in venue. “We have already given our consent to the revised itinerary,” Shah said.
