Indian tennis player Sania Mirza has been appointed the mentor of Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) women's cricket team.
Sania featured in her last Grand Slam at the Australia Open in January.
Mirza retired from the sport after the Australian Open earlier this year, where she and her partner Rohan Bopanna finished runners-up in the mixed doubles event.
The RCB bought 18 players at the WPL auction, including top Indian star Smriti Mandhan and international players of acclaim, like Ellyese Perry, Megan Schutt and Sophie Devine.
The WPL schedule was announced on 14 Feb, as it was revealed the 22-match tournament will kick off on March 4.
