The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already announced a 20-man squad for the Sri Lanka tour. The captaincy of the team has been given to Shikhar Dhawan. However, the coach was not announced. The Indian Express has quoted BCCI President Sourav Ganguly as saying that Rahul Dravid will be the coach for the Sri Lanka tour.
