The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced a new policy that bans transgender women from competing in the top two tiers of women’s domestic cricket, including The Hundred. This decision aligns with the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) policy from last year, which prohibits anyone who has gone through male puberty from participating in women’s international matches. While the ECB emphasizes the importance of inclusivity, it cites concerns over fairness and safety in elite competition.
