Test Team Rankings (men's)

The ranked Test-playing nations, with rating points and movement.

ODI Team Rankings (men's, women's)

One Day International rankings, with the Men/Women switch on the same screen.

T20I Team Rankings (men's, women's)

Twenty20 International rankings. These cover far more teams than Test or ODI: over 100 men's sides.

how they work

How the rankings are calculated

The ICC's team rankings are ratings: a team earns points from each match, depending on the result and the strength of the opponent, and its rating is those points divided by the matches it played. Beating a higher-rated side earns more than beating a lower-rated one.

Each rating covers roughly the last three to four years. Recent results count in full and older ones at half weight. Once a year, in May, the oldest year drops out, so teams can move without playing.

schedule

When they're published

There is no fixed release day. The ICC updates its tables after matches and series, so a busy month can bring several changes and a quiet one none.

In the app: the ICC's own rankings pages are checked twice a day, and each list shows the date the ICC gave the current table.

questions

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't there a women's Test ranking?

The ICC publishes women's team rankings for ODI and T20I cricket, and both are in the app. A women's Test team ranking is not part of the data the app collects.

Why did a team move without playing?

In May each year the ICC drops the oldest results from every rating, which can reorder teams that have not played since.

Does the app show player rankings?

No. The app shows ICC team rankings only, not batting, bowling or all-rounder rankings.

Can I follow my country?

Yes. Tap the star next to a team. It is highlighted in every cricket list, and its profile shows where it ranks across all the sports in the app.
