The new FTP is due sometime in June or July, since the last 8 year FTP was finalized and publicized at that time in 2014.
This thread will be for any information pertaining to the new FTP and not the existing one.

Available is a better word in their case, Mike did state he's not sure if he'll play for Zimbabwe. Unlike Alistair who made himself available.

Anyway that’s great news and a tour that was probably created on the back of our decent performance at the World Cup.
Yes this is India's home schedule which is confirmed. I'm not sure what is Zimbabwe's home schedule for this year. I suspect it is not as good as it was last year though.

South Africa and Ireland A may be touring at some point.
The academy will be touring South Africa at some point
The high performance run by Houghton will be touring England again.

I wonder how the Makonis are still making the academy side. The other fela recently got an FC cap. At this rate is a matter of time till we see them in national colours.
