The International Cricket Council has unveiled the 2025-2029 Future Tours Program, which outlines the fixtures for the fourth edition of the ICC Women’s Championship.

During this period, Bangladesh women will tour England, India, Australia and Pakistan and host South Africa, the West Indies, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.

This cycle, set to shape the lineup for the 2029 Women’s Cricket World Cup, will expand to feature 11 teams – one more than the current 10.

Notably, Zimbabwe will make their debut in the tournament, marking a significant step toward broader global representation in women’s cricket.

In the Women’s Championship, each team will compete against eight other teams, maintaining the format of four home and four away series, as in the current edition.

Across 44 series, a total of 132 One Day Internationals will be played, with each series consisting of three matches.

The new FTP promises more international women’s cricket across all formats, with more than 400 matches ensuring more competitive action for fans and an opportunity for players to shine on the international stage.

The upcoming FTP cycle will also feature an ICC Women’s tournament every year, starting with the Cricket World Cup in 2025, the Twenty20 World Cup in 2026, the inaugural Champions Trophy in 2027 and the T20 World Cup in 2028.

In preparation for ICC events, members have mutually scheduled tri-series tournaments

Members have also scheduled more Test matches, with Australia, England, India, South Africa and the West Indies committing to multi-format series that include ODIs and T20 Internationals.

Australia lead with the most planned series.
