India men's national cricket team have retained the top spot in the latest ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings following the annual update, although their advantage at the summit has shrunk. India's rating slipped by one point to 118, while New Zealand men's national cricket team gained ground, reducing the gap between the two sides from eight points to five. Meanwhile, South Africa men's national cricket team climbed above Pakistan men's national cricket team into fourth place, marking the only change within the top 10 rankings.

New Zealand captain Melie Kerr has been named the Women’s Player of the Month for March 2026 by the International Cricket Council, marking her third such accolade. The award follows a commanding run of performances in international cricket, where Kerr excelled with both bat and ball while leading her side. Her standout bowling display—claiming 16 wickets in a three-match ODI series—combined with consistent batting contributions, underlined her value as a premier all-rounder.
