The International Cricket Council (ICC) releases the ranking of male players every Wednesday. In the recently released Test batsmen, Shubman Gill is out of the top-10, while he scored the most runs in the India-England series. Gill scored a total of 754 runs in the Test series. At the same time, despite scoring less runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal has joined the top-5 Test batsmen, taking a long jump. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah number-1 remains in bowling, while Siraj has also benefited bumper. Know here, after which formula the ICC decides the ranking of players.
ICC ranking formula
Players are rated on a scale of 0 to 1000 points. These rating points decide the player’s ranking. It is considered to have a good score of 500 rating points, while players with more than 750 ratings are usually included in the top-10 bowlers/batsmen in the world. Reaching more than 900 rating points is a big achievement in itself, because this is rarely seen in cricket.
ICC ranks players keeping in mind many aspects. Number -based system is used for this. While giving the ranking, care is taken to take care of how the player’s personal performance was, how strong the opposition team was and it is also taken care of how easy or difficult the player has scored or taken wickets in the situation. If you take an example, then a batsman scores a good score against difficult pitch, difficult situations and difficult bowlers, then he will get more marks.
Who gives ranking?
No human contributes to the ranking, as an algorithm has been set for the ranking. This algorithm not only focuses on the player’s overall performance, but also sees how much the player’s runs or wickets had an impact on the match. In clear terms, the ranking is fixed on the basis of rating points. A player’s rating points can be up to 0-1000.
