(mentor) Wasim Akram and (captain) Sourav Ganguly," Bhattacharya said.
Players will join the camp depending on availability as it will continue till the IPL begins on April 12, Bhattacharya
said.
Asked about the availibility of foreign players including their new recruit Shane Bond who is at present busy with New

The 1996 World Cup winning Sri Lankan coach, Whatmore, is already in town, while Akram will join the side on March 2.
The availability of Ganguly, who is representing Bengal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, depends on the team's progress in
the National One-dayers in which they face Karnataka in the semi-final at Vadodara tomorrow.
