Indore & Bengaluru, India, June 29: Mahanaaryaman Scindia, President of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), is bringing AI into cricket administration through the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL), with the league deploying custom-built software to support finance, operations and administrative workflows.
Built by Delhigence AI on Emergent, the AI software creation platform, the system is already being used by MPL’s finance and administration teams to manage key processes with greater visibility, structure and speed.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernise the systems that support cricket administration in Madhya Pradesh. What began as a finance and operations platform for the league is expected to evolve into a wider technology stack supporting governance, monitoring and administrative workflows across cricketing activities managed by MPCA.
Speaking about the initiative, Mahanaaryaman Scindia said, “Cricket administration today needs the same speed, transparency and professionalism that the game demands on the field. Madhya Pradesh has a rich cricketing legacy, and our responsibility is to build systems that can support the next generation of players, leagues and institutions. AI gives us an opportunity to rethink how sports administration works — not in theory, but in the everyday systems that help a league run better.”
While technology has transformed how cricket is played, analysed and consumed, many of the systems that run the game behind the scenes continue to rely on manual processes and fragmented workflows. MPL’s adoption of AI-built software reflects a growing effort among institutions to modernise operations through technology designed around their specific requirements.
Mukund Jha, Co-Founder and CEO of Emergent, said, “This is exactly where AI-built software becomes powerful. Every institution has workflows that are unique to how it operates. Earlier, building software for those workflows required long timelines, large teams and heavy development cycles. With Emergent, teams can translate real operational problems into working software much faster. What MPL and Delhigence AI are doing is a glimpse of how AI can modernise not just companies, but institutions.”
The platform has been designed to support day-to-day finance and administrative operations, helping teams move away from scattered workflows and towards a more structured operating environment. The system is hosted in India, with data and infrastructure aligned to domestic governance and operational requirements.
The initiative reflects a broader shift in how sporting institutions are approaching technology. While AI has largely been associated with performance analytics and fan engagement, organisations are increasingly exploring its potential to improve governance, operations and administration. MPL’s deployment offers an early glimpse of what that future could look like.
