Cricket bans transgender women from playing in women’s teams
Transgender women have been barred from competing in all levels of women’s cricket with immediate effect, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed. The ruling comes after the English Football Association (FA) on Thursday said that transgender women will no longer be able to participate in women’s football in England from June 1.
Following a UK Supreme Court ruling on April 15, which said that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex, the ECB said that “only those whose biological sex is female” will be able to participate in women’s and girls’ cricket. Transgender women and girls can continue to play in open and mixed cricket categories, stripping back new regulations in the game that were introduced in 2024.
