Why is Zhang Jike not listed in Men's Feb/2016 Ranking???

Hey guys!

Have been looking the Men's February World Ranking, and noticed that Zhang Jike is not listed!

Jun Mizutani now is ranked as the #4, as Ovtcharov as #5, Wong Chun Ting as #6, and the ranking goes on...

Any idea of what could have happened? Maybe he really retired?!

At least, curious....

inactivity for 6 months in official ITTF tournament pro tour or world competition automatically erases your ranking list. His last participation was in the china open , so I guess that rule came into effect
