Explanation
The ranking is based on the most important global tournaments across the Test, ODI, and T20 formats, primarily World Cups and other competitions with long-standing historical continuity and prestige. In Test cricket, traditional rivalries and historic series also play an important role, although they are included selectively in order to avoid uneven advantages for certain national teams.
