The ICC announced team rankings across formats following its annual update today (May 5) - here's the updated men's T20I table.
How does the annual ICC rankings update change things?
The latest rankings update now gives a 100 per cent weightage to all matches played since May 2024, while the matches played in the two years before that capped at a 50 per cent weightage.
That essentially allows teams that have done better recently compared to two or three years back to move up the rankings.
