The ICC said it would review its rule within two years. The ECB has not specified whether it will also carry out a review once its own regulations come into effect.

“The detailed policy will now be developed over the coming months, in consultation with stakeholders, and is due to be formally in place in time for the 2025 domestic season,” the ECB said.

It added: “Considerable time has been taken to reach this policy position.

“The ECB recognises that transgender participation is a complex area, with many strongly held views, and it is impossible to balance all the considerations.

“We want everyone to feel included and welcome in our sport, and believe the position reached strikes an appropriate balance by ensuring fairness in the elite game while ensuring inclusivity at a recreational level, with specific safeguards in place to manage disparities and ensure safety.”

The ECB previously required all transgender women looking to take part in elite level female-only competitions to apply for written clearance. Evidence was then reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

BBC Sport understands no cases concerning transgender women seeking to play elite cricket were ever brought to the ECB for consideration.

The ICC’s decision to ban transgender women from international cricket last year came two months after Canada’s Danielle McGahey became the first transgender cricketer to play an official international game.
