2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

FTP has been updated. https://images.icc-cricket.com/image/up ... uktqhx.pdf

There is an added tour with Australia coming to Zimbabwe in 2026 for 3 ODIs. "Big 3" have now all come through with tours in this cycle.

Nothing has been deleted or changed so Afghanistan presumably will still be coming later this year. Surely this time they will come considering they don't have much cricket in their FTP for the next 12 months other than the Champions Trophy.

Thanks for this mate!

Yeah one more series added for Zimbabwe against Australia. That will be great.

Afghanistan have a terrible FTP. They are saved by qualifying for CT and Asia cup. Surely they shouldn't skip Zimbabwe this time as they literally have nothing else.

I hope they have proper squad for the South Africa emerging series and select genuine A team players who are close to making the team.

squad is here, apparently it is correct.

Zimbabwe. The only country where the emerging side is probably stronger than the A side

Great to see Bawa and Patel in there, very hopeful if they stick around. Naqvi is still there so they haven't given up on him. Hope Welch has a good series, they desperately need a good opener.
