ICC Announce Latest ODI Ranking 2023
The International Cricket Council announces the latest ODI ranking for 2023. The annual table of the world’s top cricketing nations is topped by India, with England in second and Australia in third. The rankings are decided by a points system, with each team starting on equal footing and being awarded points based on their results over the past three years. The rankings are important as they are used to decide which teams will compete in the World Cup, which is held every four years.
India at the Top of the List
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the latest ODI rankings, with India at the top of the list.
This is the first time that India has topped the ICC ODI rankings since the system was introduced in 2002.
India has been in excellent form in ODIs over the past 18 months, winning 14 out of their last 16 matches.
Their most recent victory came against England in the 3rd ODI at Headingley, where they chased down a target of 322 with ease.
With this victory, India not only extended their lead at the top of the rankings but also ensured that it will finish the year as the number-one ranked team.

conclusion
The International Cricket Council has announced the latest ODI rankings, with England moving up to second place and India slipping to third.
Australia remains in first place, but their lead over England has been cut to just two points. India is a further four points behind in third place.
England’s rise is due to their strong form in recent months, which has seen them win nine of their last ten ODIs. They also whitewashed Sri Lanka 5-0 in a recent series.
India, meanwhile, has lost four of their last six ODIs and has not won a series since July. Their poor form has seen them slip down the rankings.
The top ten teams in the world are now: Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Afghanistan.
