How Team Rankings Work

  • Rankings are imported from a verified data source.
  • A team’s position depends on the source rating system.
  • Data is updated whenever a new snapshot becomes available.
  • Position changes compare the current snapshot with the previous one.
  • Men’s and women’s rankings, and each format, are kept completely separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

The side at position one in the table you are looking at. Because Test, ODI and T20 are ranked separately, and men and women separately again, there is no single number one - switch format above to see each of them.

They update whenever a new snapshot is imported from the data source. Each page shows the last updated date.

Points and matches come from the source. The rating is the value used to order teams. A team can gain rating without moving position.

Position change compares the current snapshot with the previous one. Results from both teams can affect it.

Yes. Each gender and each format has its own separate ranking table.

No. The main rankings list international national teams only. Franchise and domestic teams are a separate system.

Every team in the rankings links to its full profile, or you can browse all teams in the Teams catalogue.

History uses the stored snapshots. Each point on a chart is a real saved position, not an estimate.

About Cricket Rankings

This section holds team rankings for the three international formats: Test, one-day international and Twenty20 international, for both the men’s and the women’s game. Each table shows the position, the rating and the points behind it, with a link to the full profile of every ranked side.

Rankings answer a different question from a league table. A league table records one competition; a ranking compares sides across all their recent international cricket, which is why a team can rise without winning a trophy and fall without losing one.

How the numbers work

A team’s rating comes from results weighted by the strength of the opposition and how recent the match was. Beating a higher-ranked side moves a team further than beating a lower-ranked one, and old results count for less than new ones. Small rating gaps therefore mean far less than the position numbers suggest.

Where the data comes from

The tables are published snapshots with the date they were taken. They are not recalculated here and are not live: a table is exactly what was published on that date, and the date is shown with every table so you can tell how current it is.

Each ranked side links to its team profile with the squad and the record behind the number. Women’s tables also appear in the women’s cricket section alongside the teams and matches from that side of the game.
