Rankings FAQ
ICC rankings are calculated using a weighted average of points over a period of time. For Test matches, all results in the past 3-4 years are taken into account, with matches played within the last 12-24 months given a higher weighting. Similar systems apply to ODI and T20I rankings, but with different timeframes.
ICC rankings are updated after every series or tournament. Major updates typically occur monthly, with full annual updates taking place at the beginning of May each year.
Points represent the total accumulated by a team or player, while the rating is the average (points divided by matches played, with adjustments). Rankings are determined by the rating, not total points.
