The International Cricket Council has released a new set of rankings for all cricket teams around the world. These rankings are called the ICC Team Rankings and they will come into effect from June 01, 2018. The rankings are based on the results of international matches. If a team wins against another team, it gets higher rating than if it loses to that same team. To understand these new ICC Rankings better, let’s take a look at how they work and what they mean for different teams.
There are three different ICC Rankings that provide an overview of most Associate and Affiliate teams: Ratings-O: One-Day International Rankings, Ratings-A: Test Cricket Rankings, and Women’s ODI & T20I Cricketer Rankings. They are very similar to one another with only varying details like the points system used in each ranking category or how often a team is rated vs its opposition. We will explain more about how these ratings work below but before we get into that there are some key things you need to know about these changes.
Ratings-O
The first of the three ratings categories is the ratings-O. These are based on the One-Day Internationals (ODIs) played so far in the calendar year. Unlike the other two ratings, there are two separate ratings-O ratings that are released every year. They are called ‘Current Ratings-O’ and ‘Forecast Ratings-O’.
For the forecast version, the ratings committee takes into account the results of all ODIs that are to take place from the beginning of the calendar year to the end of the year. For example, if the forecast ratings are released on March 01, it means that the ratings for the whole of 2018 will be based on the results of ODIs played in the whole of 2018.
The current ratings, on the other hand, are released six months after the calendar year ends. They are used as a prediction for how the team will do in the upcoming calendar year. This includes any ODI or T20I matches that are to be played in the months to come. For each team, the ratings-O are calculated as the average rating of all its opponents.
This means that if a team plays five matches and gets a rating of 2 vs 5 opponents, it will get an average rating of 2.5 for that particular match. The ratings-O are also dependent on the result of a match. If a team wins against another team, it gets a higher rating than if it loses to that same team.
Ratings-A
These are based on the Test Cricket played so far in the calendar year. The ratings-A are released in February and March every year. Like the ‘forecast ratings-O’, these are also dependent on the results of all matches that are to be played in the upcoming year. The ratings-A, however, take into account the results of all the matches that have been played throughout the entire calendar year.
There are two ratings-A: ‘Current Ratings-A’ and ‘Forecast Ratings-A’. The first one is released six months after the Test cricket year ends while the second one is released six months before the Test cricket year begins. The current ratings are used as they are released and they do not change until the end of the year.
The forecast ratings-A are predictions for how a particular team will do in the following year. These ratings are based on all the matches that have been played so far, the results of all the matches that are to be played in the future, and any other factors the ICC ratings committee feels are important.
Women’s ODI & T20I Cricketer Rankings
The final category of the ICC team rankings is the Women’s ODI & T20I Cricketer Rankings. These rankings are only released for the women cricketers, but they are very similar to the ‘Forecast Ratings-A’.
The ratings-A are only released six months before the Test cricket year begins and are dependent on the results of the whole year of Test cricket. The ratings-A, however, do not take into account the results of any women’s cricket matches.
The ratings-A for the women cricketers are released six months before the calendar year begins and are dependent on the results of all ODI & T20I matches played throughout that year. The ratings-A are released in February and March every year. They are calculated based on the average rating of all the women cricketers in the world.
What are the new ICC team rankings?
The ICC team rankings were first published in 2002 and since then they have been updated on a yearly basis. The process has changed a bit now that the new ICC team rankings have been released. The new rankings are only released for Test, ODI and T20I cricket and they will be released every six months. These ratings are very similar to the old ICC team rankings but they have a few minor changes, too.
The most obvious change is that they are now only released for the women cricketers. Another change is that the ratings are now calculated based on the rating average of all the teams in the world, not just the top 10. And lastly, the ratings for some teams have changed significantly, like England, India, Pakistan, and Australia.
How are these ratings calculated?
The ratings are calculated using the same points system that is used in the ICC men’s Test, One-Day International, and T20I team rankings. This means that the points for winning a match are more than the points for winning a match.
And the lower the points, the better the team is. In the women’s rankings, the points system is slightly different. Instead of taking the teams’ ratings as the base, the points system starts off with the opposition of each team being equal. This means that the points given to a team are not based on the difference of the ratings between that team and the opposition but the ratings of the opposition.
The Final Team Rankings Table

ODI and T20i Interaction With Men’s Test and Women’s Test Cricket
As we mentioned above, the new ICC team rankings are calculated based on the rating average of all teams. This means that if a team has a very good rating and plays an awful team, that team’s rating for that match will be boosted. The same thing will happen when a team plays a team in a different category.
For example, if an Affiliate team plays a Full Member in the Women’s ODI Rankings, then the win by that Affiliate team’s rating will be boosted in the Women’s ODI Rankings. This is just like how the points system works in the Women’s T20I and Men’s T20I rankings.
Conclusion
The new ICC team rankings are now in place and they will be a critical tool in determining where teams stand in the world of international cricket. The rankings are a lot more exciting than they have been in the past and they will be a lot more interesting to watch as well. As mentioned above, these ratings are very similar to the old ICC team rankings but they have a few minor changes, too. The most obvious change is that they are.
