T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier: Danielle McGahey, the first transgender to play international cricket, has said that "with a very heavy heart" her international career for Canada "is over".

After a key change to ICC's gender eligibility requirements that banned transgenders from participating in women's internationals, McGahey retired from international cricket.

"Following the ICC's decision this morning, it is with a very heavy heart that I must say that my international cricketing career is over," McGahey posted on Instagram. "As quickly as it began, it must now end."
