The new FTP

The ICC has just released the Future Tours Programme 2006-2011. Click on the link to see who will be playing who over the next five years.

There are a few odd things to note. Our next overseas test tour is to South Africa and we don't play an Asian country until India tour in February 2009. One nice aspect is that we do have quite a few three test tours lined up instead of the usual array of blink-and-you-miss-them two-test-and-no-warm-up-games series. In fact the majority of tours in the next five years will consist of three tests - with twelve scheduled compared to just seven two test series.

Dammit, Ben beat me to the punch. I shouldn't have popped out to make that second cup of tea.

"we don't play an Asian country until India tour in February 2009" - you missed that Sri Lanka come here later this year, for the third time in three years.

My big disappointment is we don't host Pakistan until Dec 2010 - they are my favourite team to watch.
