Does the List-A matches include One day internationals

Question

I saw the profiles of Sachin, Ponting, Pietersen and some other international players.

All that stats shows that no. of their List-A matches are greater than no of their Odis,this only raised me the question,

"Does the List-A matches include One day internationals"

None of the players had their stats in list-A matches less than their ODI's stats.

The no. of their First-class matches and Twenty20 matches are greater than no of their Tests and T20I stats respectively.

Why?

Answer 1

To answer this in a simple way:

• Tests -> 5 day games that a player plays for his/her national team.
• ODIs -> 50 over games that a player plays for his/her national team.
• T20Is -> 20 over games that a player plays for his/her national team.
• First-class -> International test matches + Test matches in domestic leagues.
• List A -> ODIs + 50 over games played in domestic leagues.
• T20 -> T20Is + 20 over games played in domestic leagues.
