ICC Women's Player Rankings
The International Cricket Council player rankings is a widely followed system of rankings for international cricketers based on their recent performances.
Thought the men's ratings were developed in 1987, the women's ratings were first introduce for WODI matches in 2008 in response to the formats growing popularity.[1] Currently, 10 teams are considered for WODI ratings, whereas all association members of the ICC are eligible for WT20I ratings. The rankings include the top 10 WODI and WT20I batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders based on the rating of the each player.[2]
Ranking calculations
For the ICC player ranking, the same methods are used for both men and women. The player rankings are a points methods of all player's performance. with recent matches performance effect player's rank. Each match performance is given a rating out of 1000. But 1000 rating was rare achievement. This means that the maximum possible overall rating per person only rating 1000, and a player gaining a rating of 900 is seen as an exceptional achievement. Separate lists are maintained for batting and bowling and an all-rounder rating is also published, which is obtained by multiplying a player's batting and bowling rating together and dividing by 1000.
For batting, the performance rating is based on a combination of runs scored, the rating of the opposition bowlers, match result and comparison to the overall scores in the match. A bowler gains points based on wickets taken, runs conceded and match result, with more points gained for dismissing highly rated batsmen. A damping-factor is applied to a player's rating at the start of their career.[3]
