Cricket rankings are created in order to provide fans and specialists with information about the results of teams in recent years. National team coaches use these indicators to determine the squads for the World Cup and other major tournaments.
Cricket rankings: general information
The main cricket rankings are team rankings in different formats. The developer of the classifications is David Kendix from England. This specialist has been working as treasurer of Middlesex County Cricket Club since 2016. His responsibilities include calculating and updating indicators. Previously, Kendix collaborated with the English Cricket Board. For this organization, David developed a local rating system in the One Day International format in 2002. David Kendix used to play cricket himself. He had a chance to perform at the legendary Lord’s. In 1995, the England national team hosted the West Indies team. Since 2006, the specialist has been a member of the ICC Cricket Committee. In addition, he has developed a rating system for the International Netball Federation. It is noteworthy that Kendix is an actuary by education. This is a specialist in insurance mathematics who uses the theory of actuarial calculations.
From March 2021, Cricket rankings are updated every week:
- Women’s One Day International and Twenty20 International formats change every Tuesday.
- For men in the Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International formats, the classifications are updated every Wednesday.
The updated rankings include matches that ended the day before. Classifications change after the end of the One Day International and Twenty20 International tournaments, as well as following the results of the test series.
In addition, to team cricket rankings, there are several other classifications in this sport:
- Player Rankings.
- Player Rankings Comparison.

Cricket rankings Team: features
The following system is used to determine the best in team cricket rankings:
- The number of runs (rounded to the nearest full number) is divided by the number of matches/series for a particular team.
For men, 10 teams have a rating in the Test format, 20 teams in the One Day International format, and 80 teams in the Twenty20 International format. There are 10 teams in the classification of women in the One Day International format, 56 in the Twenty20 International format.
Cricket rankings Players: features
The rating of cricketers is a rather complicated thing. All players are rated on a scale from 0 to 1000 points. The better the player’s activity for several months, the higher his rating will be. If there is a decline in the results, then, accordingly, the player falls in the classification. There is no exact scoring system for cricketers. It depends on a number of circumstances that accompany the match. At the same time, the advantage of cricket rankings is the absence of the human factor. All actions take place with the help of a computer program. Scoring also depends on the format of the match.
In order to get a rating, cricketers must be involved during the qualifying period:
- In Test format matches, it takes 12-15 months to do this.
- In One Day International and Twenty20 International format matches, 9-12 months are enough.
If a player has finished his career but has not asked to be excluded from the rating, then he will gradually fall in the table. If such a request from a cricketer follows, he will be excluded from the list. Moreover, the player has the right to withdraw from the rating, for example, the Test format, but remain in the One Day International format rating. Since the scoring process is brought to automatism, the players receive points in the rating immediately after the completion of the matches. At the same time, updated data appear on the official website of the International Cricket Council. Also, on the official website, you can see the peak achievements of players in their careers (by points).
Note that a very good achievement for players in individual ratings is 900 or more points. Usually, players need 750 points to get into the top 10. 500 points is a good application in order to feel comfortable in the ranking. The management of the International Cricket Council does not evaluate players in the keeper position. By all accounts, it is wrong to draw conclusions only on catches and stumpings taken. A lot for keepers depends on the bowlers’ action.
