India had suffered a 0-3 home series defeat against New Zealand last year on turning pitches, which denied them a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final since its inception. However, the Men in Blue began the new WTC cycle with a 2-2 drawn series in England under Shubman Gill’s captaincy.
“It has been communicated to the curators that the team wants to play on sporting pitches that won’t have overtly variable bounce and turn from Day One. One can expect the matches to go on till the fourth day during the West Indies series,” a BCCI source told TOI.
Rishabh Pant’s Absence Affects India Against West Indies
India will face the West Indies in the next Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from October 10. The venue is known for its consistent bounce and high-scoring white-ball contests over the past two years.
Rishabh Pant, who is India’s best batter on turning tracks, is unavailable for the upcoming series. The management wants to allow the middle order to settle and gain confidence.
India Want Rank Turners Against South Africa
India will host South Africa for two Tests in November, with matches set to be played in Guwahati and Kolkata. The report added that team management is expected to prepare turning tracks to exploit South Africa’s known struggles against spin while also factoring in the impact of their own pace attack.
South Africa will field world-class spinner Keshav Maharaj. India’s struggles against quality spinners like Mitchell Santner, Ajaz Patel, and Glenn Phillips last year highlight the need for strategic planning. With a view to securing a WTC final berth, the Indian management wants to avoid losing at home.
