Apple released the iOS 10 beta update, 10.3, to software developers earlier this week. While the reported addition of ‘Find My AirPods’ feature to the Find My iPhone app has been the centre of attention, there’s another feature hidden in the latest update that will surely cheer cricket fans.

Users will soon be able to ask Apple’s digital assistant Siri for cricket scores, stats and trivia, reported Mashable

Apple introducing feature to help users find lost AirPods

According to a statement, Siri will be taking in information from International Cricket Council tournaments, as well as the Indian Premier League.

Users will also be able to ask Siri for team rankings, live scores, individual player records, match dates and other general match information.

Given the Apple’s recent inclination towards its fastest-growing market India, the move is not a surprise. However, Apple is bit late to the game as Google Now added cricket support three years ago.
