Australian cricketer James Faulkner on Monday decided to come out of the closet to announce that he is in a same-sex relationship. Faulkner chose the occasion of his 29th birthday to make his relationship status public.

"Birthday dinner with the boyfriend @robjubbsta and my mother @roslyn_carol_faulkner#togetherfor5years," read a caption of Faulkner's Instagram post. England's Steven Davies was the first international cricketer to come out openly as gay when he made the revelation in an interview in 2011.
