A robust algorithmic framework for the evaluation of international cricket batters in ODI format based on q-rung linguistic neutrosophic quantification.

This article presents a novel approach for decision-making problems in which the criteria and alternatives are evaluated under a q-rung linguistic neutrosophic set (QRLNS) environment.
