It was just last year when there was a lot of controversy about Imen Khalifa in paris Olympics 2024. Allegations were made that despite having high testosterone levels, she participated in the women's boxing event. Now the england and wales cricket Board (ECB) has completely banned the entry of transgender women in the women's cricket team. The ECB has clearly stated that only those players who are biologically women will be made part of the team.
The ECB also said that transwomen and women can play together in open and mixed categories. According to England's media channel BBC, the UK supreme court ruled that the definition of being a woman is based on biological sex. After this decision, changes have been made in the rules. Let us tell you that in this case, the judges have given an 88-page verdict. This decision was also agreed upon in the board meeting held on Friday.
The football associations of england and scotland implemented the new policy on Thursday, under which trans women will not be allowed to play in the women's football team. On april 16, the supreme court gave this decision under the Equality Act of 2010.
This was the rule earlier
The england and wales cricket Board had earlier banned transwomen from playing in top-2 level tier cricket. This year, transwomen were also seen playing women's cricket in The Hundred League, but now under the new rule, transwomen have been banned from playing women's cricket at any level. However, women and transwomen players will be able to play together in the open and mixed categories.
