Apart from the international series, it also includes a long program of IPL. This new FTP of BCCI has got the green signal from the ICC. The biggest highlight of the new FTP is that India will also play a series of 5 Test matches against Australia.

There is no doubt that the biggest thing that has been seen in the new FTP is that India and Australia will play a series of 5 Test matches. This will be seen between these two teams after 30 years. India and Australia were playing a series of 4 Tests till now. The last time they played a series of 5 Tests among themselves was in 1992. India will play 38 Tests in the 4-year cycle of the new FTP. Only England and Australia will play more Test matches than that. Where England will play 42 test matches. At the same time, in the next 4 years, Australia's team will play 41 Test matches.

In Team India's new future tour program, the emphasis will also be on T20I and ODI series. In the new FTP, the 5-match T20I series will get priority. Apart from this, the focus will also be on the triangular ODI series, which are rarely seen now. It is possible that the tri-series may prove to be a step towards increasing the interest of the people in ODI cricket.
