New Delhi: The Indian cricket team's think-tank, comprising manager Ravi Shastri and rest of the support staff will meet for the first time since the side's World Cup debacle and the subsequent exit of Greg Chappell.

Captain Rahul Dravid is also likely to join Shastri & Co. for the 'preparatory summit'. The Indian team's conditioning camp ahead of the long Bangladesh tour gets underway on May 2 in Kolkata.

However, the BCCI wants Shastri and Dravid to get together with the rest of the high-profile support staff, a day before the players arrive in Kolkata, for the 5-day long camp.

The Indian tour to Bangladesh starts on the May 10. The two teams are scheduled to play two Test matches and three One-Day Internationals during the tour.

Indian skipper Dravid along with newly appointed manager Ravi Shastri are expected to arrive here on Tuesday noon, ahead of India's five-day training camp starting from 2 May for the Bangladesh tour.

"Dravid and Shastri along with few of the support staff are expected to arrive here on Tuesday noon. The rest of the team will arrive day after," Cricket Association of Bengal secretary Saradindu Pal said.
