FTP in cricket stands for Future Tours Programme, which ICC releases every four years. This year’s FTP has seen an increase in the international matches despite an increase in the T20 leagues around. However, it has also given space to the countries to organize their T20 Leagues as well accordingly.
India and Australia will play two Border-Gavaskar trophies in the period, and the test matches have been increased from four to five in both series. One series will be played in Australia in 2024-25, whereas the series in India will take place in 2027. India will even play two 5-match test series against England in the next four years.
As expected, there is no bilateral series scheduled between India and Pakistan in the next four years as well. One 50-over World Cup, one Champions Trophy, two T20 World Cups and two World Test Championships will be played in the next four years.
Bangladesh will play the most international matches in the next FTP, followed by West Indies and India. It is interesting that South Africa will play fewer international games than Ireland and Afghanistan in the next FTP cycle. West Indies will play the most T20Is, Bangladesh will play the most ODIs and England will play the most tests.
