I agree at elite level but at the most amateur cricket should be co ed in my opinion, too few opportunities for women to play currently. Make it all comers up to a certain level

That's a different argument though, surely? This ruling is about biological males being disallowed from women's teams.

In a mixed team, it doesn't matter whether a male player is playing as male or "female" (assuming the league doesn't have any specific rules on the minimim number of female players required in a mixed team, like there is in netball).

So that's Football, Netball and Cricket all making announcements today? Has this been coordinated somehow?
