TIL Desk Sports/ Pakistan’s batting great Javed Miandad is not happy with the present ranking system of the International Cricket Council even though the team has just become the number one ranked side. Miandad said while he was happy that Pakistan, despite the many problems it was facing as a cricket nation, had topped the test ranking table, the ICC needed to come out with a better system.
“The present system is not satisfactory as there is not a proper system to rank a team on the matches it plays on home and away basis,” he told. “In the existing system it is very difficult for a team to maintain its top ranking and positions change quickly,” he added.
Miandad, who played 124 Tests, said he would like to see the ICC start a two-year or four-year cycle of Test matches in which all teams get to play against each other on home and away basis. “How can a team be judged and ranked at the top unless it plays equal number of home and away matches,” he added. Pakistan grabbed the number one spot after India’s fourth Test against the West Indies was washed out at Port of Spain.
