Should the #1 ranked ODI team automatically be given +3 points during WC and CT?

In addition, Pakistan has played one of the other top teams, New Zealand in 3 series while India has played them once.

cricket rankings are the most useless stats ever produced in sporting...

Random & ridiculous suggestion

Will be interesting to see things after the annual update in a few weeks.

Please stop.

The World XI games had no bearing on the team ranking.

In the current rankings (which will be updated next month),

Pakistan have played

Scotland 0 times
Sri Lanka in 2 series
West Indies in 3 series


India have played

Sri Lanka in 4 series
West Indies in 2 series

You misunderstood. I am not comparing Pakistan's T20I ranking with India's T20I ranking.

If you follow the course of the discussion, you would realize that the argument (that I did not agree with) was that if Pakistan do not deserve the number one ranking in T20Is, then neither does India in ODIs and Tests.

I see. But you did repeatedly state that Pakistan's current #1 ranking is helped by beating the World XI when those match were not included for ranking purposes.

No,it will devalue the competition.

Thanks for the correction, I was unaware of it.
