The ECB will ban transgender women from playing at the elite level of women's cricket from 2025.
The England and Wales Cricket Board will ban transgender women from playing at the elite level of women's domestic cricket from 2025.
The new regulations will also apply to The Hundred's women's competition, but transgender women will be eligible to play in tier three of the domestic structure, which comprises traditionally lower-level counties, and in recreational cricket.The ECB said it had carried out an "extensive consultation" and considered the interaction between "fairness, safety and inclusion" before reaching a conclusion.
"This provides consistency, given that a primary purpose of the top end of the domestic structure is to produce international players." "The detailed policy will now be developed over the coming months, in consultation with stakeholders, and is due to be formally in place in time for the 2025 domestic season," the ECB said."The ECB recognises that transgender participation is a complex area, with many strongly held views, and it is impossible to balance all the considerations.
