Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) says it is considering appointing an interim coach to replace Stuart Law until a permanent successor is found.
Secretary Prakash Shaffter told the BBC that, contrary to media reports, the SLC has not short-listed candidates to replace Law.
"I am not aware of three short-listed names," said Shaffter.
He refused to elaborate on the interim replacement - whether it could be a Sri Lankan or a coach from abroad.
"We discussed some options. Obviously to secure a permanent coach will take some time," Shaffter told BBC Sinhala Service after the first meeting of the new interim committee.
"We are looking at a possible interim arrangement before securing the services of a permanent coach."
Law, who temporarily replaced Trevor Bayliss after the World Cup, is to take over as Bangladesh coach after Sri Lanka's current tour in England.
Shaffter, who was appointed by sports minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage on 1 July, said the new team will first have a look at where the previous administration stood on the issue.
"If we have the right names we will obviously will select someone from amongst those names," said Shaffter.
"Alternatively we'll look at re-addressing the post or sorting it out from the available contacts that we have."
The SLC has also discussed the critical remarks made by former Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara in the MCC Spirit of Cricket Lecture, but has delayed the decision on the course of action, if any, until after the current tour.
"The team is in a middle of a tour. We would not want to deliberate the comments made by Sangakkara at this stage," Shaffter said.
But Shaffter ruled out any investigation into the speech that heavily criticised corruption in the cricket administration in Sri Lanka since the island gained Test status.
"[There is] absolutely no question of an investigation, certainly not," he said.
Minister Aluthgamage, who has ordered the board to submit a report on the remarks, earlier told BBC Sinhala that, as a contracted player, Sangakkara should not have made the comments.
