2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc

Afghanistan and Ireland are playing a Test in Abu Dhabi starting on Feb 28

Its highly problematic that ZIM keeps having Tests with AFG and IRE cancelled/postponed...

Yes, Afghans are also playing a test against Sri Lanka. Both SL tour and Ireland series are proper tours consisting of test, ODIs and T20s.

This is where ZCB are very poor. Zimbabwe's FTP is the poorest in the world.

Is the Ireland Afghan series in FTP? Afghans are also hosting Bangladesh for a full series of 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, 3 T20s after the T20 world cup this summer...Afghans might double the number of Tests they've played by the end of this year.

Yes, It's part of the FTP.

As per the schedule released by PCB, Pakistan will be touring Zimbabwe for 3 ODIs and 3 T20s in November. This is part of the FTP.

The deal involves Mukuhlani not standing against Shah for ICC chair in the election later this year.
At least we have got something out of it!
