ICC Team Rankings serve as a comprehensive ranking system, carefully designed by David Kendix, to assess the performance of men’s cricket teams across the Test, One-Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International formats.
This unique ranking method offers a holistic ranking by taking into account points earned in matches and series. Drawing parallels with batting average, he replaces total runs scored and strikeouts with game or streak totals.
