The BCCI is keen to utilise the gap created by the postponement of the Champions Trophy and hold a preparatory camp.

"No, we are not thinking of taking part in any event. We want to hold a preparatory camp for the players ahead of the important (four-Test) series against Australia. The details will be worked out soon in consultation with the concerned people," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah told PTI from Rajkot.

The persons expected to be consulted by the BCCI are coach Gary Kirsten and selection panel chief Dilip Vengsarkar who has gone to Sri Lanka to witness the remainder of the India's ongoing one-day rubber against the hosts.

Kirsten is scheduled to be in Mumbai on Sunday to attend the Coaches Review Committee meeting, according to other BCCI sources.

The BCCI has announced that the September 24-28 Irani Cup tie between Ranji Trophy Champions Delhi and the Rest of India at Vadodara would feature all the probables for the series against Australia commencing at Bangalore on October 9.

"We will decide on the date for choosing these probables in a few days' time", Shah said, while responding to a query on the subject.
