Start of season rankings[edit]

For the ODI, T20I & women's rankings there is not an issue, but once the West Indies v Pakistan Test series is completed the ICC will do its annual rejig of ratings. Do we use these as the start of season rankings, or keep the figures from 29th March (end of India v Aus & SA v NZ)? The Windies v Pak series counts as last season for statistical purposes, so I'd use the new ratings, anyone disagree?

New figures will look something like this if the last Test is drawn (though I think in past the ratings have floored the rating at 0):

Team	Matches	Points	Rating
India	32	3917	122
South Africa	26	3038	117
Australia	31	3087	100
England	34	3364	99
New Zealand	32	3114	97
Sri Lanka	31	2836	91
Pakistan	31	2878	93
West Indies	26	1939	75
Bangladesh	17	1171	69
Zimbabwe	9	-56	-6

I've based them on the ICC's April 1 cut-off, but I agree that as there's a series still going on from the old year, it would make sense to update it once that's complete. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:42, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Games to include[edit]

I agree with @Arjunsanyal: that we should not include A-team tournaments unless we include other A-team tours as well. Spike 'em (talk) 08:58, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even though they have List A/first-class status, whereas the Southeast Asian Games do not? Seems quite flawed logic from Arjunsanyal. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:06, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking at that, and am not sure if that is notable enough either. We include the World League Div 5 / 6 which I don't think have List-A status but at least is part of the ICC ladder. I'm sure there are many games / tournaments between low level national teams that are not included on here. On the A-team point, bilateral A-team tours also feature first-class / List-A games so would have the same notability as a 3-way List A tournament to me. Spike 'em (talk) 09:20, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, none of the WCL matches below Div 2 have List A/ODI status, but form part of the notability criteria. As far as I know, all the A tours have the LA/FC status. I'd like to here convincing arguments from users like Arjunsanyal for their exclusion, other than "we've not included them in the past", etc. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:40, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
