The problem I see with the Indian team is that they play too much on Asian pitches and don't travel enough to countries with fast track pitches. This could be one of the reasons why they always seem to fail when travelling to England, South Africa and Australia. They could even try and have a fast track pitch in their country at one of the grounds instead of pitches that always take spin, I'm sure the ground staff can achieve this and by doing this at least they have one cricket ground where they can practice and play on a fast track. In Australia there are a couple of grounds that take spin as well as fast which is a good mix when he comes to travelling Asian pitches.
There are a number of pace-friendly pitches in India such as Mohali and Dharamshala. But the BCCI prefer to hold the matches in metro cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, so that they could get the maximum gate revenue. More grounds must be opened in cities such as Darjeeling and Gangtok. It will help to recreate the European conditions here in India.
