Sri Lanka's captain, Kumar Sangakkara has questioned the way the ICC Test rankings work.

Responding to a query about the rankings system that has India at No 1 despite not having won a series in Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka since 1993, and whether that system needs a change, Sangakkara said:

"If rankings can't be understood by the public, the players, or the administrators, what's the use of having rankings? If you want rankings, they should count towards playing a Test championship. Rankings need to be fairly done. A fair FTP is the first step towards having proper rankings."
