The ICC has announced a new rule banning trans-sexuals from playing in women's international cricket. Danielle McGahey, the world's first transgender cricketer, announced her retirement after learning of this decision. Although born in Australia, Danielle now resides in Canada. She has played 6 T20 matches for Canada.
She scored 118 runs in the shortest format of cricket. Her batting average is 19.66 and strike rate is 95.93. This performance is not bad for the women's cricket team of a country like Canada. But more than the performance, Danielle is more talked about as a gender changer. Controversy has started over the ICC's decision after her retirement.

Retirement announcement on social media
Danielle announced her retirement from international cricket in a social media post. He wrote, 'It is with a broken heart that I announce the end of my international cricket career following the decision of the ICC. As quickly as my career began, it ended as quickly. Thank you to everyone who has helped me on my cricket journey. To thank all my teammates, opposition players, cricket community and sponsors.
Strong anger at the ICC's decision
Expressing strong anger at the ICC decision, Daniella wrote, 'I have my opinion on the ICC decision, but they are irrelevant. The message sent to millions of transgender women today is real. Through this message it is said that we do not exist. I promise, I will not stop fighting for our right to equality in sports. We deserve to play cricket at the highest level. We are not dangerous to the integrity or safety of the game. The fight will never stop.'
