The child of former indian cricket player Sanjay Bangar, Anaya Bangar, made startling disclosures regarding the negative aspects of the sport.
As she talked about her experience with hormone replacement medication, Anaya disclosed that she has experienced sexual harassment from prominent cricket players. She also said that the sport is rife with toxic masculinity and insecurity. "I used to choose clothing from my mother's closet and put them on when I was eight or nine years old. I used to say, "I am a girl," as I looked into the mirror.
Anaya said to the Lallantop, "I want to be a girl." "I've played with a few famous cricket players, including Sarfaraz Khan, yashasvi jaiswal, and Musheer Khan. Dad is a well-known person, therefore I had to keep my identity a secret.
"Toxic masculinity and insecurity are prevalent in the cricket world," she continued. When Anaya was questioned about the persecution she experienced, she shocked everyone by revealing that famous cricket players used to send her nude photos after finding out she was transgender. "There have been a few cricketers who randomly sent me nude pictures of them." She also disclosed a few other terrifying cricket-related occurrences.
Anaya also expressed disappointment over the ICC's decision to ban trans cricketers from playing women's cricket, saying, "The person used to give gaalis in front of everybody. The same person then used to come and sit beside me and ask for my photos." "In another instance, when I was in India, I told a veteran cricketer about my situation. He told me let's go in the car. I want to sleep with you," she added. A policy that "don't make athletes choose between their passion and identity."
