Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

No, I mean, the integrity of the competition means they need to be pretty hard and fast.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

It needs to be, I guess, one size fits all in the sense of contracting rules and you want as little grey as you can.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

That's one of the big pieces of work we're working through is regardless of whether it's all the teams have private investors in it or only some, that you need a level playing field on the field and that takes into account

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

whether you've got outside investment coming in, whether the team remains held by the state association.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

What is a non-negotiable for us is a fair and even playing field.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

It is complex, though, to your original question.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

I think that's one of the fascinating parts of where the future, I guess, landscape of franchise cricket will go.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

We see that we've been watching what's happening in the 100.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

Clearly, we watch the contracting and auction models in the IPL.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

There's so many different variables out there, and we'll build one that is bespoke and custom fit for us.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

Clearly it would be a desire, but it's not something that we spend any time really prosecuting or investigating.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

There's no indication that will change and

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

We don't spend any energy on that.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

We're more focused on particularly the Australian talent being big and strong and passionate about the BBL and overseas players when they can come in to play a role.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

But yeah, that doesn't seem like it's on the horizon.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

Yeah, I think the opportunity to take the BBL outside Australia, even if it is for an individual game, is a fascinating opportunity.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

And you've talked about the strength and the size of India as a market.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

We can't deny that.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

That is the reality of global cricket now.

Whateley
Alistair Dobson | Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues (24.06.26)

We're close.
