Homosexuality has been legalized in many countries, and most of those are Western nations or their allies. Since the LGBTQ+ raised their voices for their rights, we have seen an inevitable shift of sexual preferences around the world, and the world of cricket is not an unaffected one. Though there are no publicly declared homosexuals in Men’s cricket, there are many in Women, and some of the homosexual couples that married in the same gender are given below.
