FAQs

  • How ICC Team Rankings Are Calculated?
    In parallel, the ICC Team Rankings, devised by David Kendix, serve as a rating mechanism for men's teams competing in Test, One-Day International, and Twenty20 International formats, as well as for women's teams participating in One-Day International and Twenty20 International cricket. This rating is derived by dividing the points earned by the total match or series points, rounded to the nearest whole number. Analogous to a batting average, this metric employs points instead of total runs scored and incorporates match or series totals instead of dismissals. Annual updates to these rankings are executed on 1 October each year.
  • How do you rate all-rounders?
    We've developed an all-rounder index to assess the top performers in Test and One Day cricket. This index is calculated by multiplying a player's batting and bowling points and then dividing by 1000. For instance, a player with 800 batting and 0 bowling would have a score of zero (since they don't bowl and thus aren't considered all-rounders), while someone with 600 batting/200 bowling would receive a rating of 120, and a player with 400 batting/400 bowling would achieve a rating of 160. A score exceeding 300 is regarded as world-class. Although there are more all-rounders in T20s and ODIs than in Tests, similar names often feature prominently in both formats. It's important to note that this index doesn't include fielding skills, which are currently difficult to quantify statistically.
  • How ICC Rankings Are Calculated?
    The ICC Player Rankings represents a comprehensive system that evaluates the performances of international cricket players. This ranking system utilizes a points-based methodology, incorporating a sophisticated moving average calculation. Players receive ratings on a scale ranging from 0 to 1000 points, with fluctuations occurring based on their performance trends. The assessment of each player's contribution within a match is determined by an algorithm, consisting of predefined calculations tailored to various match circumstances. Notably, this calculation process operates autonomously, devoid of human intervention or subjective judgment. Distinct factors are considered for different cricket formats.
  • What about ratings for wicket-keepers?
    The difficulty lies in determining a fair method for rating a wicketkeeper. Simply assessing them based on catches and stumpings taken is problematic because these statistics heavily rely on the bowler's ability to create chances (considering how many opportunities Warne created for Healy, for instance). Historical records on missed chances lack accuracy, and defining what constitutes a missed chance is subjective. Therefore, similar to other fielding skills, we opt not to generate a rating as we're not convinced it would be reliable.
  • What happens to a player's rating if he plays but does not bat/bowl?
    If a batsman doesn't get the chance to bat, his rating remains unchanged. We aim to ensure that ratings don't penalize a player unjustly for circumstances beyond their control (such as rain affecting an innings and causing the entire team to suffer points loss). The scenario for bowlers is a bit different. If the opposing team is bowled out for less than 150 runs, a bowler who hasn't bowled isn't penalized (indicating that the conditions favored other bowlers, and his services weren't required). However, if the opposition posts a significant total, bowlers who haven't bowled in the innings lose points.
  • When are the rankings updated?
    As of March 2021, we transitioned to a weekly schedule for updating player rankings. Under this arrangement, women's player rankings for both ODIs and T20Is are refreshed every Tuesday, while men's rankings across all three formats—Tests, ODIs, and T20Is—are updated on Wednesdays. These updates encompass all matches concluded up to the preceding day and exclude any matches played on the day of updating. Team rankings remain updated as usual, occurring after each Test series and after every ODI and T20I match.
  • What's the difference between 'rankings' and 'ratings'?
    We utilize 'rankings' to denote the positions of players in the tables, and 'ratings' to represent their points.
