CricRatings.com is a non-commercial, independent, proprietary, and indigenous cricket analytics platform built to reimagine how performances are evaluated in the sport. Our focus goes far beyond traditional rankings and basic stats—offering a deep, data-driven view of the game across formats, eras, and player roles.

 Our ratings are based on a structured analytical model that uses publicly available match scorecards. The data is processed through consistent and transparent scoring logic to deliver insights for both current and historical performance across international and T20 league cricket for men and women.

 

✔️ Latest Ratings – Updated monthly, these rankings are calculated over the most recent four years. Recent matches carry more weight using progressive factors. Ratings are published for teams and players in all formats and roles—batting, bowling, fielding, and overall contributions.

✔️ All-Time Best – A curated list of the most impactful players and teams across cricketing history, organized by format and country. It reflects legacy, consistency, and long-term excellence, based on cumulative performance scores. No manual adjustments are made; everything is merit-based.

✔️ All-Time Lists – This section showcases two kinds of teams and player lists. The editor lists is a handpicked curation of all time players across multiple formats and categories, the most comprehensive such exercise ever done. The model lists are AI generated lists derived from our comprehensive cricket scoring system that is the backbone of our ratings, rankings, awards and GOATs analysis.

✔️ All-Time Performances – A ranked archive of the top 1,000 individual match performances. Each is scored using contextual logic—factoring in opposition strength, match pressure, conditions, and importance of the game. The list is strictly data-driven, so some lesser-known performances may outrank legendary ones. No manual adjustments are made; everything is merit-based.

✔️ All-Time Ratings – A list of the top 1,000 teams and players ranked by lifetime cumulative scores. It captures long-term consistency and overall greatness throughout careers.

✔️ Annual Awards – Recognizes the top performers in a single calendar year, independent of long-term rankings. Annual awards are available for each year since a format began, across all roles and formats.

✔️ Historical Ratings – Year-end snapshots of ratings from the inception of each format. These allow users to track performance trends over time. For simplicity, only year-end values are published.

 

In addition to ratings, CricRatings.com includes several tools and content sections:

✔️ Search & Compare – Lets users compare up to three players across generations by selecting format, gender, and category. This helps make meaningful comparisons across eras using a consistent rating system.

✔️ Blogs & Analysis – In-depth writeups that explore trends, player peaks, team transitions, and tournament stories—based entirely on our structured data, not opinions.

✔️ News Aggregation – A curated section that brings together the latest cricket news and videos from trusted online sources. We don’t publish original news but gather important updates in one place. All sources are credited and linked directly to their original locations.

 

Our analytics model goes beyond simple averages or strike rates. It includes match context, opposition quality, game importance, and impact in pressure situations. This ensures every rating is built on fair, layered, and transparent logic—making CricRatings a complete and intelligent system for evaluating cricketing performance.

 

Our goal is to bring innovation to cricket analytics by offering a different yet objective approach to evaluating team and player performances. These rankings are meant to to provide a fresh, data-driven perspective that captures both historical and current performances fairly and consistently.

No, these are not official ICC rankings. The official rankings are published by the ICC at icc-cricket.com/rankings. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Our rankings are independently developed using proprietary analytics and publicly available match data, providing an alternative perspective on cricket performance. Besides, Latest Ratings are only one of the many different kinds of rankings on Cricratings.com. This platform covers various ratings for all the 4 major international formats for men and women thus making Cricratings.com both unique and comprehensive.

We cover rankings for Men’s and Women’s cricket across three international formats and major cricket T20 leagues:
 

✔️ Tests

✔️ One-Day Internationals (ODIs)

✔️ T20 Internationals (T20Is)

✔️ T20 Leagues

Rankings are available for Teams, Players, Batsmen, Bowlers, and Fielders. 

We have also categorized all such into various sub-categories. For example, batsmen are classified into sub-categories like batting hand and batting position. Bowlers are classified into sub-categories like bowling hand, bowling style and bowling position. Fielders are categorized into fielder vs wicketkeeper vs someone who has played as both. Players are categorized into Pure batsmen, Pure bowlers, Batsmen who can bowl, Bowlers who can bat, Batsmen who can keep, Wicketkeepers and Allrounders. 

We consider allrounders as only those players who are good with bat and ball or good with bat and wicketkeeping. Hence, we have not created a separate category for allrounder, rather created a player category with sub-categories including allrounder.

Cricratings uses a completely new algorithm to score a team or player's performance for each innnings/match. The algorithm used is based on advanced analytics that uses match scorecard data, considering factors like:
✅ Peer relativity within an innings, match or era
✅ Opponent strength
✅ Performance in big matches
✅ Match situations
✅ Home vs. away conditions
✅ Era-benchmarking
and many more. To clarify, the algorithm doesnt use ball-by-ball data.

The algorithm output is normalized and aggregated using intuitive yet logical parameters as required for various modules presented on the platform. CricRatings.com uses a deep, context-driven model to provide a more holistic and accurate assessment of performances. The depth and coverage of the modules presented on CricRatings are not just unique to cricket but probably one among very few if all sports are included.

Our system applies uniform criteria to all teams and players. While the ranking model is based on predefined parameters, there is no manual bias in determining the outcomes. The same formula or method applies across all formats and time periods, ensuring fairness and consistency.

We have modeled strike rates for batsmen in eras where balls faced data wasnt avaiable.

All rankings are output of a unique and completely original comprehensive cricket scoring system. The system uses publicly available scorecard based data (preferred source: ESPNcricinfo statsguru). We do not use any proprietary or non-public data. We present limited stats to add context to our ratings. We cant guarantee accuracy of the stats presented.
