The International Cricket Council has become the latest sports body to ban transgender players from the elite women’s game if they have gone through male puberty.

The ICC said it had taken the decision, following an extensive scientific review and nine-month consultation, to “protect the integrity of the international women’s game and the safety of players”.

It joins rugby union, swimming, cycling, athletics and rugby league, who have all gone down a similar path in recent years after citing concerns over fairness or safety.

    Last time my comment got deleted… I don’t know if it were the link or something else.

    Just search for it on YouTube “Five Times Trans Athletes Beat Thousands Of Women In Their Sports”
