Cricket Teams

The catalogue holds 25 team profiles, covering national sides, domestic sides and franchise squads. You can filter them by country, by team type and by gender.

It depends on the format, which is exactly why the rankings are kept separately for Test, ODI and T20. The rankings page shows the current order for each of them from the latest snapshot we hold.
