The Board of Control for India (BCCI) is likely to announce the squads for the T20s and ODIs on 15 September.
The selected players will head to a fitness and training camp in Bangalore on 20 September. Some of the senior players such as Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu including India skipper MS Dhoni will be featuring in the India A team against Bangladesh A, ahead of the camp.
