The second one-day game in a three-match series between India and Sri Lanka was called off at Indore on Christmas Day last year because the pitch was unfit, and the first test between West Indies and England at Kingston, Jamaica, in January was abandoned after 10 overs because the surface was dangerous.
Consequently, the International Cricket Council (ICC) want the pitches at both venues inspected before they are allowed to stage another one-day or test match.
The issue was the major topic discussed at a two-day meeting of the ICC's recently-formed cricket committee which ended at Lord's on Wednesday.
Chairman of the meeting, West Indian Sir Clyde Walcott, said in a statement issued on Thursday: "The decision of the committee is that before another one-day international or test match takes place again at Indore and Kingston, an ICC-approved person will be sent to inspect how the pitches are playing at both venues.
"The square at Kingston has been relaid following the abandoned test match in January."
World cricket's governing body have acted to prevent a repeat of the pitch fiasco that caused international matches in India and West Indies to be abandoned during the 1997-98 season.
