New Delhi: England women’s cricket coach Jon Lewis revealed on Friday that he is using artificial intelligence to assist with team selection, noting the technology played a role in his team’s success last season. ashes.
Lewis was initially exposed to technology developed by London-based PSi when he held a leadership role at the company. UP warrior franchise in india women’s premier league.
Now the 48-year-old former England pacer relies on the company to assist him in making decisions about squad composition, team balance and match-in-match play between players.
The system produces predictions based on the composition of both parties.
“I could send multiple different lineups to PSi in London, and I think they would run about 250,000 simulations of each team I sent, with all the different permutations that could happen in the game,” he said.
“We’re able to run simulated teams against simulated opponents so we can understand how those teams perform against each other.
“I came across it during my time at UP Warriorz, I saw it and thought it could add some value to the England women’s cricket team.”
Lewis said he still favored a “people-centred approach” but added: “Data can give you a really objective view of what might have happened and what has happened before. I think that will help in terms of making choices. of boundary decisions and competition.
Lewis, who has spoken to England Rugby League coach Steve Borthwick about his own use of the PSi model, said that as his side faced arch-rivals Australia in the multi-format Women’s Ashes series last season, The system has proven its worth.
“There was an option last year and our target as a team was a period of Ashes,” Lewis said when England’s squad for the T20 and ODI series against Pakistan at home later this month was announced.
“There were a couple of selections where the AI was really helpful because the two players I was considering picking were both in really good form and both were really selectable and it really helped with those selections.
“We saw real quality in Australia and we matched our quality to that. It was very, very effective and it helped us win the T20 series and especially it got us back into the Ashes.”
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important feature of top sports, with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach saying last month that it could help identify talented athletes “from every corner of the world”.
He said that artificial intelligence can also provide more athletes with personalized training methods.
