ICC Player Rankings

Each performance is given points based on the strength of the opposition, the match conditions and the result. Recent performances are weighted more heavily than older ones, so form moves a player faster than career numbers alone.

Rankings refresh within 24 hours of any international match in that format. During World Cups and major bilateral series, the top 10 in ODI and T20I can change after almost every match.

They use the same rating model but reward different things. Test rankings reward consistency over five-day matches, ODI rankings reward 50-over performances against quality bowling attacks, and T20I rankings reward strike rate, economy and impact in shorter games.

No. The ICC publishes women’s rankings for ODI and T20I only. Women’s Test cricket is played too rarely for a meaningful rating cycle.

An all-rounder’s rating is the product of their batting and bowling rating points, divided by 1,000. A player needs to be strong with both bat and ball — being world-class with only one is not enough to break into the top tier.
