Dubai:  Emerging ODI sides, Nepal, Scotland, the Netherlands and the United 
Arab Emirates (UAE) have joined the 12 leading ODI nations on the expanded MRF Tyres 
ICC ODI Team Rankings with effect from June 1.
This elevation means all ODIs these four sides will play against other sides on the table henceforth will count towards a team's rating points and performance in the rankings table,
an ICC report on Friday said.
 
The Netherlands secured ODI status and a place in the 13-team ODI league by winning 
the ICC World Cricket League Championship last year, while Scotland, Nepal and the UAE 
earned ODI status by finishing as the three leading Associates (along with the Dutch) in the 
ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2018.
 
Scotland have been ranked in 13th place on 28 points ? 10 points behind 12th ranked 
Ireland ? while the UAE are another 10 points behind on 18 in 14th position. The 
Netherlands have 13 rating points and Nepal have 0 ratings point, but they will reflect on 
the ICC ODI team rankings table after both have played four more ODIs.
 
Teams earn points from each match they play against oppositions with an ODI rating. 
Points and matches played between May 1, 2015 and April 30, 2017 will be weighted at 
50 per cent, whereas matches played after May 1, 2017 will be weighted at 100 per cent.
 
The positions of the 12 Test playing countries, who were already on the table, are not 
affected by the introduction of these new teams on the table.The table is headed by England, who will host next year's ICC Cricket World Cup. 
 
India are ranked second, three points behind England, while ICC Champions Trophy 
winners Pakistan are in sixth place.The initial rankings for the four new teams are based on: all ODIs played since May 2015 by Scotland and the UAE against Full Members and against each other; Non-ODIs played by the Netherlands and Nepal against Full Members, Scotland and the UAE as part of the ICC World Cup Qualifying tournament 2018.(UNI)
