Tell the ECB to scrap their blanket ban on trans women

It didn’t take them long. After years of welcoming trans people into cricket, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) rushed through a ban on trans women playing women’s cricket just two weeks after April 2025’s Supreme Court ruling.

The board has driven this ban through at all levels of the game, even for amateur clubs and leagues who want to stay inclusive.

A ban doesn’t just risk isolating trans people – it risks outing them. How are they supposed to explain to their teams why they suddenly can’t play?

Trans people shouldn’t be at risk just because they want to play sport with their friends.

We think the ECB’s blanket ban on trans women is unlawful, so we’re helping a woman playing club cricket to sue the board for discrimination.

Now we need to put as much pressure as possible on the sport’s governing body to get rid of the ban.

Let’s show the ECB how many people want the amateur sport to stay inclusive. Together, we can keep transphobia out of cricket.
