The question arises: What caused Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s sudden exclusion from the ICC ODI rankings? Is it due to a specific rule or a possible oversight by the ICC? According to ICC ranking rules, a player does not feature in the top 100 of the ODI rankings if they have retired or haven’t played an ODI match in the past 9-12 months. However, this is not the case for Rohit and Virat, as they both played ODI matches this year, with their last match being the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in March, meaning it has only been six months since their last game. Furthermore, neither player has announced their retirement.
