During a recent conversation with Lallantop, Ananya said, “He was just stating fact that there’s no place for me in cricket. I had to take a stand for myself. I did get suicidal thoughts as it felt like the entire world is against me.” She thought that her decision to take hormone therapy had left her no space and opportunities in the system. Though she had a family space, but in the cricket and exterior world, she felt a lack.
In the same conversation, Anaya said that she played with some well-known cricketers such as Sarfaraz Khan, Musheer Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
