This month we begin our CricketEurope Ranking tables which give standings for:

1. The six ICC High Performance Program (HPP) countries (Bermuda, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, The Netherlands and Scotland);
2. The ICC Associate and Affiliate nations;
3. batsmen in the HPP countries;
4. bowlers in the HPP countries.

These rankings will be updated monthly and published on CricketEurope.

Our first set of rankings is for the HPP countries. These rankings simply take into account the last three meetings between each pair of teams. As the teams begin to play each other more often, the number of matches taken into account will increase.

CricketEurope HPP Rankings: 1 November 2006

We will publish the remaining sets of rankings for November over the next few days.
