ICC launches women’s T20 ranking ahead of the T20 world cup

International cricket council(ICC) has released the women’s T20 ranking ahead of the Women’s T20 world cup scheduled to take place in the islands of West Indies in November. Three time T20 champion Southern Stars(Australia) have taken the numero-uno position in the 46-team table.

The decision comes after ICC announced earlier this year to award international status to all T20 matches between Member countries.

India are the highest ranked Asian team as they take the 5th position in the table while Scotland are the highest ranked Associate team.

Talking on the development ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said “We are committed to growing the game and T20 is the vehicle through which we’ll do this. Global rankings and international status for all T20 games between Members is a huge step forward and will contribute to our efforts to accelerate the growth of the women’s game. The new rankings will provide incentive for teams to play regularly and mark their progress globally. I wish teams all the best.”
