The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed that transgender women will no longer be permitted to take part in female competitions at all levels with immediate effect.
The change in policy follows the law announced by the UK Supreme Court on April 16, unanimously ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equality law.
Trans women had been banned from the top two tiers of elite women’s cricket and The Hundred since the start of this year, but were still able to compete in the women’s game up to and including tier three of the domestic game and throughout recreational cricket.
However, this new ruling will not allow transgender women to compete at any level in women’s cricket.
