Anaya Bangar receives Cricket Australia clearance for community and Premier Cricket
Bangar cleared to play community and Premier Cricket in Australia after gender-affirming surgery and formal eligibility review.
Former Mumbai Under-19 cricketer Anaya Bangar has received formal clearance from Cricket Australia to compete in community and Premier Cricket competitions. Bangar, daughter of former India all-rounder Sanjay Bangar, completed gender-affirming surgery earlier this year.
The eligibility opens a potential pathway toward elite women's leagues in Australia. Bangar has spoken about the long process of returning to competitive sport after years of uncertainty.
No immediate timeline for a return to higher-level cricket has been set. The clearance applies to domestic structures within Australia.
