  "account": "Cricket’s Future Tours Programme (FTP) is a complex system that dictates which teams travel where, when, and why they play international matches. As the ICC’s master calendar nears completion, debates over One Day Internationals (ODIs), the expansion of the World Twenty20 (WTC), and franchise windows have led to several overhauls since 2006. The FTP has been revised multiple times to reshape the matches fans watch.",
