Sanjay Bangar Son: Former India head coach and a yesteryear cricketer Sanjay Bangar's son Aryan has posted a jaw-dropping transformational journey along with a huge revelation. Bangar's son, Aryan, underwent a hormonal transformation journey as he changed name to Anaya.

Anaya shared a post which said “From a young age, cricket has always been a part of my life. Growing up, I watched my dad with awe as he represented and coached the country, and it wasn’t long before I started dreaming about following in his footsteps. The passion, the discipline, and the dedication he showed to the sport were deeply inspiring to me. Cricket became my love, my ambition, and my future. I’ve spent my entire life honing my skills, hoping that one day, I would get the chance to represent my country, just like him.

“I never though I’d have to consider giving up the sport that has been my passion, my love, and my escape. But here I am, facing a painful reality. As a trans woman on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), my body has changed drastically. I’ve been losing the muscle mass, strength, muscle memory, and athletic abilities I once relied on. The game I’ve loved for so long is slipping away from me.”

Anaya Bangar A Cricketer?

Meanwhile, Anaya, a player currently based in Manchester, England, competes for a county cricket club, although the exact club remains unconfirmed as per a report by Free Press Journal. She recently shared an Instagram reel showcasing her impressive performance, scoring 145 runs in a local match.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) recently announced a policy change that will ban transgender women who have gone through male puberty from competing in elite women’s domestic cricket, effective from 2025. This rule will apply to the top two tiers of women’s cricket, including competitions such as the premier domestic leagues and The Hundred’s women’s competition.

Under the new regulations, transgender women are still permitted to participate in tier three of the domestic structure, which includes lower-level counties, and can also play in recreational cricket. This approach seeks to balance inclusivity in grassroots cricket while addressing concerns around fairness in elite competition.
