Latest Sri Lankan Domestic Cricket Ratings
BCCSL - 19 March 2002

Middle order batsman Bathiya Perera of Moors SC and left-arm spinner Nisitha Rupasinghe of CCC continue to head the respective Batting and Bowling categories of the latest Sri Lankan Domestic Ratings, compiled weekly by Cricinfo.com, a strategic partner of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka.

The recently launched ratings, the first ever ratings system for domestic cricket in Sri Lanka, evaluate all players in the Premier League, weighting each individual performance according to the quality of opposition faced, to produce a meaningful barometer of performance.

To qualify for the ratings, players must have played a minimum of four matches. Batsmen must then score a minimum number of runs and bowlers take a minimum number of wickets before they start accruing points. Players who were involved with the national team and were therefore unable to participate in the Premier League due to international commitments, were not rated.

Having achieved the above, players will accrue points for each run scored and wicket taken. The number of points will depend upon the stage of the tournament Qualifying, Plate and Super League - with more points being awarded for matches in the Super League than the Plate and Qualifying rounds. The ratings will be updated weekly, to take into account the latest matches played.

The rating system was designed with input from the BCCSL Tournament Committee, Ranjan Madugalle and Ranjith Fernando, and is expected to evolve and improve in coming seasons.

This is the first time that CricInfo.com, who manage official websites for eight Test nations and the International Cricket Council (ICC), has developed a domestic rating system, which shows the strong relationship that has been forged with the BCCSL.
