The first coaching camp of the season for the Indian cricket team after the appointment of Greg Chappell [Images] as coach is expected to start in the first week of July in Bangalore, BCCI secretary S K Nair said on Tuesday.

The camp was meant to equip Indian players for the coming tri-series matches involving Sri Lanka [Images] and West Indies [Images] to be held in Sri Lanka, Nair told PTI.

Chappell would be arriving in Bangalore on Wednesday from Sydney to assume charge as coach. Officials of the Bangalore Cricket Academy would extend all assistance for the Indian coach, he said.

"Bangalore will be the base for Chappell," Nair added.
