The International Cricket Council has rolled out an innovative social media moderation tool at the Women's T20 World Cup, designed to curtail toxic content online and foster a more inclusive environment for both players and fans.

Set to commence in Sharjah and conclude in Dubai on October 20, the tournament will be the first to integrate this AI-powered tool developed alongside GoBubble, targeting hate speech and harassment on official and player social media accounts.

Finn Bradshaw, ICC's head of digital, emphasized their commitment to creating a positive atmosphere, noting the widespread acceptance among players, with more than 60 already opting in for social media protection services.
