<p>The ICC Future Tours Programme (ICC FTP) is a schedule of <a href="/facts/International_cricket/IavvkTba">international cricket</a> tours and tournaments which structure the programme of <a href="/facts/Cricket/tjuTASkU">cricket</a> events for <a href="/facts/International_Cricket_Council/P1QW2FvH">International Cricket Council</a> (ICC) <a href="/facts/List_of_International_Cricket_Council_members/M7L0JzBw">full members</a> and <a href="/facts/List_of_International_Cricket_Council_members/M7L0JzBw">associate members</a> with <a href="/facts/One_Day_International/EBq50MAd">One Day International</a> (ODI) status, over a period of time. </p><p>The FTP schedules bilateral cricket tours with the objective of each team playing each other at least once at home and once away over a period of 10 years known as the "Ten Year Plan" since 2006. If the cricket boards of two individual countries reach an agreement, they can play more than two series. The FTP also schedules associate tri-nation series with the objective of each team playing each other at least once at home, once away and once at a neutral venue over a cycle of four years since 2019. If a team does not want to travel to a particular country for a bilateral or tri-nation series due to security reasons, then, by the mutual agreement of the respective boards, that series can be shifted to a neutral venue such as the United Arab Emirates or any other country where the facilities are deemed adequate. </p><p>Additionally, it has also scheduled ICC tournaments over a period of four years known as an "ICC Events cycle" since 2024. Each cycle consists of one men's <a href="/facts/Cricket_World_Cup/jxtMEtoQ">Cricket World Cup</a>, one <a href="/facts/Women%2527s_Cricket_World_Cup/jru0MdKY">women's Cricket World Cup</a>, one <a href="/facts/ICC_Champions_Trophy/ToVY8njH">ICC Champions Trophy</a>, one <a href="/facts/ICC_Women%2527s_Champions_Trophy/QzX9kkya">ICC Women's Champions Trophy</a>, two <a href="/facts/Men%2527s_T20_World_Cup/I5J2Q7j2">men's T20 World Cups</a> and two <a href="/facts/Women%2527s_T20_World_Cup/Sl49JFed">women's T20 World Cups</a>. </p>
