The spawn of Satan: a 7-ODI series

What’s with the BCCI scheduling 7-ODI series against visiting sides?  Is the money all that they’re interested in?  Are ODIs not monotonous enough?  What about the fact that India played an ODI series in Sri Lanka not too long ago? 

As with such series on the subcontinent in the past, we can expect to find totals in the vicinity of 300 far from safe.  I sincerely hope that I am proven wrong and that the wickets are much more sporting this time around.
