ICC Test Rankings (AP; X.com/@Jaspritbumrah93 & @cricbuzz)
The International Cricket Council evaluates individual player performances over a period of time and provides an updated ranking every week on Wednesday (Men's) and Tuesday (Women's). The ICC Test Rankings provide a dynamic and comprehensive way to assess who the best teams and players are in the longest format of the game at a specific time, based on an in-depth and data-driven statistical analysis of their performances.
Players from different countries work diligently to contribute to their team’s victory. Individual contributions in different aspects of the game: batting, bowling, and fielding, assist teams in acquiring a win against their opponent. For their anomaly performances, teams, batters, bowlers, and all-rounders are rewarded with points by the ICC, which helps them climb the ladder to gain a higher ranking in the tally.
