Monday will mark a watershed sporting moment for Karnataka when a transmen team representing the State will participate in a national-level cricket tournament for the first time.
When the team of eleven led by captain Aadhityanath and vice-captain Bhuvan play their first match against the Maharashtra team on December 15, every run will be hard-earned, scored after a longer innings off the field.
All-transmen team
The Transgender Persons’ Cricket Tournament that will be held from December 15 to 20 in Punjab is being organised for the second time by the Transgender Athletes Foundation. In the first tournament that was held around a year ago, the Kerala team emerged as winner.
While teams can consist of transmen and transwomen, no cisgender individuals are allowed. All the eleven members of the Karnataka team are transmen.
