"For us to get into the World Group it's absolutely critical to have players in the top 100. Otherwise it's hard to push through in four singles matches," said Amritraj when asked about India's 1-3 defeat against top seeds Czech Republic in Delhi last week in the World Group play-off tie.
"If you have players in the top 100, preferably in the top 50, then we can push these guys and on a particular day you could actually win. Otherwise it becomes rather difficult," explained the 61-year-old tennis ace.
"It was very disappointing on second day, unfortunately (when Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna surprisingly lost in the doubles), but again you are talking about the no.1 team in the world and we are ranked 21," he elaborated.
Amritraj said the important thing was to find a lot many players to push at each other and burst on to the world scene like some European countries' players.
"If you look at our tennis as a whole it's critical to have dozens of players coming through at a younger age. You can't always have one person coming up every ten years.
"It's important to have that push at a younger age in bunches, like the French, Spaniards and Swedes. All of them keep pushing themselves and then half a dozen of them rise to the top.
