Indian Premier League side Kolkata Knight Riders have picked their coach and his identity would be revealed soon by the team management, senior batsman Sourav Ganguly said on Wednesday.
Tipped to return as captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL III, Ganguly said, "The coach has been decided. But I cannot announce it. The team management (owners Shah Rukh Khan and Jay Mehta) will do it shortly."
The ace cricketer, who had a morning practice session in the indoor facility of Eden Gardens, said the Knight Riders will play three practice matches with the visiting Champions League Twenty20 teams in the first week of October.
The announcement will most likely be done before the practice matches.
The Kolkata Knight Riders screened a mix of foreign and India coaches in a series of interviews held at Shah Rukh's residence last month.
The Kolkata side is also expected to reinstate Ganguly as the captain.
Last season's skipper Brendon McCullum will not be available for most of the IPL III as he will be busy playing for the national side against Australia in the home series scheduled in March.
