"We will wait for the decision of the Appeals Commissioner, if at all a change is required, we will take a decision later," Nair said.

Ganguly was slapped a two-match ban for India's slow over rate during the Platinum Jubilee one-dayer against Pakistan at Kolkata on November 13.

New Zealand's Tim Castle will hear his appeal against the ban. He would hold a tele-conference with the Indian captain tomorrow.

Ganguly would be represented by his personal lawyer Siddharth Shankar Ray as well as BCCI's lawyer Ushanath Banerjee.

The Indian team for the tour of Bangladesh, where they will play two Tests and three one-day internationals from December 9 to 27, would be announced during the Kolkata Test, Nair said.
