Former European champions Portugal sit top of Group J in qualifying for next year's finals in Germany.
They face Slovakia in Bratislava next Friday before hosting Luxembourg three days later.
"A player with 200 appearances, that's something unique," said Portugal coach Roberto Martinez of Ronaldo, who has scored five goals in four qualifying games so far.
"I can tell you I'm very happy to have Cristiano Ronaldo in my team."
