Check Pakistan's ICC Ranking in Tests and ODIs: 9th and 5th, and How to Read It
Check Pakistan's ICC ranking in five steps: 9th in Tests on 71, 5th in ODIs on 100. Learn how the rating is worked out and spot an old ranking screenshot.
To check Pakistan's ICC ranking, open icc-cricket.com, choose Rankings, then Men's Team Rankings and pick Test, ODI or T20I. On the pages we read on 11 October 2026, Pakistan are 9th in Tests with a rating of 71 and 5th in ODIs with a rating of 100.
Fans mix up three tables all the time: the ICC team rankings, the World Test Championship table and the player rankings. They answer different questions. This page shows how to find the right one, how to read it in a minute and how to spot an old screenshot.
We opened the ICC's men's team ranking pages for Tests and ODIs and checked every figure below against the table. The T20I page showed an empty table when we opened it, so we give no T20I number and show you how to read it yourself.
Pakistan are 9th in Tests and 5th in ODIs on the ICC tables
On the ICC's Test table, dated 12 September 2026, Pakistan are ninth with 1,623 points from 23 matches and a rating of 71. On the ODI table, dated 10 October 2026, Pakistan are fifth with 3,215 points from 32 matches and a rating of 100.
| Format | Rank date | Pakistan's position | Matches | Points | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test | 12 September 2026 | 9th | 23 | 1,623 | 71 |
| ODI | 10 October 2026 | 5th | 32 | 3,215 | 100 |
Notice the two rank dates. They are a month apart. The ICC updates a table when a series ends, so a table with an old date simply means no ranked series has finished since. It is not a mistake.
Open the right table in five steps
Go to the ICC website, choose Rankings, pick Men's or Women's and then Team Rankings, and select the format. The page opens on the current table and shows the rank date above it. Read that date first.
- Open icc-cricket.com and tap Rankings in the menu.
- Choose Men's or Women's.
- Choose Team Rankings, not Player Rankings.
- Pick Test, ODI or T20I.
- Read the "Rank date" line, then find Pakistan in the POS column.
The T20I page did not show its table when we opened it. If yours is also blank, reload the page or try again later. Do not trust a number from a social media post in its place.
Rating is points divided by matches, so the order can surprise you
The ICC rating is a team's points divided by its matches played, rounded to a whole number. The table is ordered by rating, not by total points. A team with more points can sit lower if it has played many more matches.
You can check this on the Test table. Pakistan have 1,623 points from 23 matches, which is 70.6, shown as 71. West Indies, one place above, have 2,008 from 27, which is 74.4, shown as 74. Australia lead with 3,411 from 27, which is 126.3, shown as 126.
| Test position | Team | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Australia | 126 |
| 2 | South Africa | 119 |
| 7 | Sri Lanka | 75 |
| 8 | West Indies | 74 |
| 9 | Pakistan | 71 |
Pakistan are three rating points behind West Indies and four behind Sri Lanka in Tests. Both gaps are small. Zimbabwe are tenth on 17, far below.
The ranking and the World Test Championship are two different tables
The ICC team ranking measures recent strength with a rating. The World Test Championship (WTC) is a league with its own points and a final. A team can be ninth in one and last in the other, and that is exactly Pakistan's position this autumn.
Pakistan sit last in the WTC on 4.63% after point deductions. Our WTC points table for Pakistan explains the deductions and the percentage system. The ranking table has no deductions and no final.
Pakistan's next Tests are at home against Sri Lanka in November. See the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Test dates and venues. A series against a team rated four points higher is the sort that can move the table, though we have not read the ICC's formula to say by how much.
How to spot an old or fake ranking screenshot
A genuine ranking image carries a rank date. A fake or stale one often does not. Compare any screenshot with the live ICC page and match four things: the date, the number of matches, the points and the rating.
- No rank date: treat the image as unreliable.
- Rating does not equal points divided by matches: the numbers were altered.
- A team shown as first that is not first on the ICC page today.
- A table from before a series that has since ended.
For Pakistan's next ODIs, see the ODI tri-series fixtures. The table will change after those matches, so check the rank date again after 31 October.
Common questions
What is Pakistan's ICC Test ranking?
Ninth, on the ICC table dated 12 September 2026, with 1,623 points from 23 matches and a rating of 71.
What is Pakistan's ICC ODI ranking?
Fifth, on the table dated 10 October 2026, with 3,215 points from 32 matches and a rating of 100.
How is the ICC rating calculated?
By dividing a team's points by its matches played. For Pakistan in Tests that is 1,623 divided by 23, about 70.6, shown as 71.

No. The ranking is a rating of recent strength. The WTC is a league with its own points, deductions and a final.
Why does the rank date matter?
It shows when the table last changed. A screenshot without a date may be weeks old.
Where can I check Pakistan's T20I ranking?
On the same ICC Team Rankings page, under T20I. We could not read that table when we opened it, so we do not quote a figure.
How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 11 October 2026, about 3:15 am PKT. Test positions, matches, points and ratings are from the ICC men's Test team rankings page, rank date 12 September 2026. ODI figures are from the ICC men's ODI team rankings page, rank date 10 October 2026. The WTC position is from the ICC WTC standings as recorded on our WTC page. The T20I table did not load on the ICC page, so no T20I figure is given. We did not read the ICC's rating formula on an ICC page.
