Involved nations
In 2006 the ICC announced that only the top-10 ranked sides would have Test and ODI status. During the
2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier Netherlands lost its ODI status by virtue of not finishing in the top 6 placings. As the top 4 teams with ODI status were not required to take part in this qualifying tournament, the top 6 in this tournament constituted the top 10 overall placings. Bangladesh replaced the Netherlands as one of the ten countries which currently have ODI status.
In September 2018, ICC chief executive
Dave Richardson announced that all matches at ICC World Cup Qualifiers would be awarded ODI status. However, in November 2021, the ICC reversed this decision and determined that all fixtures in the Women's World Cup Qualifier featuring a team without ODI status would be recorded as a
List A match. This followed an announcement retrospectively applying
first-class and List A status to women's cricket.
In April 2021, the ICC awarded permanent

Rankings
Before October 2018, ICC did not maintain a separate Twenty20 ranking for the women's game, instead aggregating performance over all three forms of the game into one overall women's teams ranking.
In January 2018, ICC granted international status to all matches between associate nations and announced plan to launch separate T20I rankings for women.
In October 2018 the T20I rankings were launched with separate ODI rankings for Full Members.
