Hello @Pushkaraj Thakurdas 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You can use Automation Rules to create the Sprint, and the Epic and its child tasks on a schedule.

You can use the Create Sprint action to create the sprint.

I would recommend you use a separate rule running at a later time to create the Epic and its child issues, to ensure the rule that creates the sprint has completed. You might be able to have the Sprint creation in the same rule as the Epic creation, but I have not actually tested that to confirm that the newly created sprint is available to be assigned to the subsequently created issues.

When you are creating the issue you can elect to set the Sprint field. You will be presented with a list of available boards and you can choose to add the issue to the current active sprint or the next planned sprint.
