ICC should follow ranking system used in Tennis. If I am not wrong, in Tennis, points earned in a year do not roll over to the next year. Even if I am wrong about Tennis ranking, ICC should introduce something like this. If you look at players ranking, you will also find names in the top 100 who haven't played internaitonal cricket for a while. For an example, Hannan Sarkar is still in the list of top 100 batsmen. Now, when was the last time that he played test cricket? There should be rules such as, players and teams have to play a certain amount of games in a year in order to be considered for ranking.
