Abstract
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.

Summary
Ranking in sports is a significant measure for the performance and comparison between different teams. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the governing body that ranks cricket players and teams based on their previous and current performances. The ICC uses an ad-hoc rating system to rank cricket teams. This Ad-hoc rating system is based on the number of wins or loses in a match to assign a rating score. The region/venue plays an essential role in measuring players‟ and teams „performance because every region has distinct playing conditions. Region-wise ranking classifies the team‟s strengths and weaknesses throughout the region/venue. The consistent performance of the players in these departments improves their team‟s strength.
