Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association Introduces AI for Player Selection and Administration
The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) is implementing an AI-driven model to enhance transparency and accountability in cricket administration, including player selection. AI will analyze performance data to recommend players, while selectors retain final decisions and must justify non-data-based choices. The system, tested in the Madhya Pradesh T20 League, will also manage financial processes and grant applications. MPCA aims to be among the first cricket bodies globally to adopt such technology, collaborating with AI start-up Emergent.
