RCB To Use Artificial Intelligence To Find Talent For Women's Premier League: Mike Hesson

The Royal Challengers Bangalore women's team is set to go big on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unearth talent from far corners of the country, their director of cricket Mike Hesson said on Thursday. While the team management will not discard the time-tested method of sending scouts to unearth promising talent, RCB will also deploy AI technology to supplement their efforts. "We think our scouting needs to go a little bit deeper than sending regular scouts to tournaments. There's a lot of untapped talent and potential throughout the whole country," Hesson said at a press conference ahead of the Women's Premier League (WPL).

WPL Will Help Us Overcome T20 World Cup Semi-final Defeat: Jemimah

Star batter Jemimah Rodrigues admitted on Thursday that India's heartbreaking loss against Australia in the semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup is still haunting the players, adding that the Women's Premier League (WPL) would help ease the pain a bit. Jemimah and India captain Harmanpreet Kaur's 69-run fourth-wicket stand had put India in pole position to push for victory but the end of their partnership led the side to a five-run defeat against Meg Lanning's Australia. "It has taken a while, honestly. We were in South Africa for two days after the semis (loss). Everyone was not in a great headspace. But coming here (for WPL), being with the family for two days (has helped ease the pain)," Jemimah said during a Delhi Capitals event in Mumbai.
