The 23-year-old added that the University conducted a test to collect data on her muscle power, endurance, glucose, and oxygen levels, comparing them with cisgender female athletes. As per the test reports, the parameters fell within cisgender female athlete norms.
"For the first time, I'm sharing the scientific report that documents my journey as a trans woman athlete. Over the past year, I've undergone structured physiological assessments after starting hormone therapy. This report captures the real, measurable impact of my transition not opinions, not assumptions, but data," Anaya can be heard as saying in the video.
"I'm submitting this to the BCCI and ICC, with full transparency and hope. My only intention is to start a conversation based on facts not fear. To build space, not divide it. Whether you agree or not, thank you for witnessing," she added.
"Science kehta hai main women's cricket ke liye eligible hoon. Ab sawaal yeh hai kya duniya tayyar hai sach sunne ke liye? (Science says I am eligible for women's cricket. Now, the question is whether the world ready to accept the truth?" Anaya captioned the video.

The ‘lunchtime peel' promise
Have you ever wondered about the science behind the coveted glass skin look? Well, I've got three words for you: Carbon Laser Treatment. You've probably seen it all over Instagram, with influencers calling it the 'lunchtime peel' that promises instant radiance and a filter-like glow in real life. Let's dive in. What Is Carbon Laser Treatment? First, let's clarify: when I mention carbon laser treatment, I'm not talking about something related to carbon dating. Carbon is everywhere. For this procedure, a liquid black carbon is applied as a mask on your face to absorb dirt, excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities deep within your pores. Once the mask dries, a Q-switch laser is used to zap away all that gunk, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more refined—like a song in full voice. Why Is It Considered a Game Changer? I'm usually skeptical of social media hacks unless they're backed by solid science. Here's why I believe carbon laser treatment is genuinely transformative: 1. Immediate Glow: The effects are quick and noticeable—you walk out of the clinic with a radiant, luminous complexion. 2. Minimal Downtime: You can do this during your lunch break and return to your day as if nothing happened—though a lot has, but it's barely noticeable. 3. Pore Reduction: Struggling with enlarged pores? This treatment temporarily shrinks them, making your skin look smoother and more refined. 4. Pigmentation Improvement: It can help diminish freckles, acne scars, and melasma, often for good.

Nazem Kadri slams Olympic snub after Team Canada leaves Stanley Cup champ off 92-player roster
Nazem Kadri expressed his confusion after being excluded from Hockey Canada's 92-player Olympic orientation camp (Getty Images) At 34 years old, veteran forward Nazem Kadri was baffled by his snub from Team Canada's 92-player orientation camp for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The exclusion of the Stanley Cup champion, who has garnered 710 points in 985 NHL games over 16 seasons, has provoked spirited commentary, especially since the list includes several younger players. Nazem Kadri reacts to being erased from Hockey Canada 's Olympic invite list Nazem Kadri's recent career challenges extend beyond his professional disappointment. The veteran hockey center, a Stanley Cup champion with the Colorado Avalanche, now faces the twin hurdles of being overlooked for a national team opportunity and combating his team's struggles. The announcement of Canada's massive 92-player roster for the Olympic camp was an event to celebrate for many, including Sidney Crosby, who was among the first six players named to the team. 'I know how much pride comes with wearing the Maple Leaf on the international stage,' he uttered, expressing his excitement. The decision by Hockey Canada to leave Kadri off the list for their August camp has sensibly left him stunned. The news was disclosed to the public through an Instagram post from TSN, which shared that 'Hockey Canada has invited 92 players from its men's, women's and para hockey teams to attend its National Teams Orientation Camp, set for Aug. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mountain Gear for Extreme Conditions Trek Kit India Learn More Undo 26-28 in Calgary.' Kadri's visible confusion was made clear when he commented '???' on the post. His bafflement is justified, as he has a Stanley Cup victory and several high-scoring seasons to his name. His dismissal is particularly complicating given that the list includes multiple players who have yet to win the trophy. This snub adds to the existing pressures on the Calgary Flames star, who is also currently the subject of several trade rumors, with potential moves to teams like the Montreal Canadiens or New Jersey Devils being speculated.

Rumors swirl as NHL insider insists it's Toronto or nowhere This latest snub could either ignite a fire in Kadri's game, driving him to silence his critics, or it could simply compound the difficulties of what has already been a challenging year.
