In cricket, the region plays a significant role in ranking teams. The International Cricket Council (ICC) uses an ad-hoc points system to rank cricket teams, which entirely based on the number of wins and losses a match. The ICC ignores the strength and weaknesses of the team across the region. Even though the relative accuracy in the ad-hoc ranking is high, but they do not provide a clearly defined method of ranking. We proposed Region-wise Team Rank (RTR) and a Region-wise Weighted Team Rank (RWTR) to rank cricket teams. The intuition is to get more points to a team that wins a match from a stronger team as compared to a team that wins against a weaker team & vice versa. The proposed method considers not only the number of region-wise wins and losses but also incorporates the region-wise strength and weakness of a team while assigning them the ranking score. In conclusion, the ranking list of the teams compares to the ICC official ranking.
