Sir Geoffrey Boycott has been critical of the fact that the Test cricket No.1s are being decided on such few matches in a calendar year.

Boycott did not denounce India's rise to the ICC Test Cricket top ranking but found it "ridiculous" that "in the next 11 months or so India play only about two-odd Tests. How ridiculous is that? How can you judge India's performance over the next 11 months? You can judge them over the past few months - they have played very well and I have no problem with them being number one."
Boycott raises a valid issue of the decision of deciding the number one based on an unequal number of Tests played by Test playing nations.
