There are many reasons why Indian team loses matches, one factor which not much focus is given is physical conditioning. Indian players were not unable to match the teams, except Pakistan foot to foot. The could not match the Spain and Australia. Even the coach Brasa who was more interested in playing all-rounders, forget to get the team physically fit to play 70 minutes against the European teams. We have Sultan Azlan Shah next month and the physical condition will be put to test again by the opponents. We have youngsters in the team, but the system has to change so that we can make our players fit to play in future events.
