What are ICC Team Rankings and how teams are ranked?
The ICC Team Ranking method is a ranking method which is developed by David Kendrix to rank all the international cricket teams in fair and unbiased order. This rating is worked out by dividing the points scored by the match/series total, with the answer given to the nearest whole number. Many factors such as batting average and bowling economy also affect the rankings. The M in the ratings denotes Matches played, P means Points got, and R is the rating.
