ICC Player Rankings - Who decides the rankings? Who is in the panel?

Who decides the rankings? Who is in the panel?

No one. No human is involved in the decision making.

In the words of ICC, “the performances are ranked using a points based system which is worked out by doing a series of calculations leading to a sophisticated moving average. Players are rated on a scale of 0 to 1000 points. If a player’s performance is improving on his past record, his points increase; if his performance is declining his points will go down. The value of each player’s performance within a match is calculated using an algorithm, a series of calculations (all pre-programmed) based on various circumstances in the match. There is no human intervention in this calculation process, and no subjective assessment is made.”
