Anaya Bangar Cleared to Play Female Community Cricket in Australia by Cricket Australia
Trans athlete Anaya Bangar has been cleared by Cricket Australia to participate in female community cricket following her gender-affirming surgery. While she can play community cricket immediately, eligibility for elite competitions like the Women's Big Bash League requires maintaining serum testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months. Anaya plans to make her competitive women's cricket debut in 2027. Her father, Sanjay Bangar, is a former India all-rounder and coach.
