Overview
- The ICC, which ran its annual recalculation Friday, set matches since May 2025 at full weight and halved the prior two years, removing results before April 30, 2023.
- Australia stayed No. 1 in men’s Tests on 131 rating points and remained first in women’s ODIs on 163.
- India rose to third in the men’s Test table on 104 as England slipped to fourth on 102 after older series wins fell out of the window.
- Pakistan moved up to sixth on 89, while Ireland dropped from the Test list for not meeting the eight‑match minimum and must play two more Tests within a year to return, as must Afghanistan.
- The women’s ODI top six held steady with England widening its gap over India, Bangladesh overtaking Pakistan for seventh, and fresh T20I and men’s ODI updates scheduled for May 5 and May 7.
