No, I mean, the integrity of the competition means they need to be pretty hard and fast.
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.
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
whether you've got outside investment coming in, whether the team remains held by the state association.
What is a non-negotiable for us is a fair and even playing field.
It is complex, though, to your original question.
I think that's one of the fascinating parts of where the future, I guess, landscape of franchise cricket will go.
We see that we've been watching what's happening in the 100.
Clearly, we watch the contracting and auction models in the IPL.
There's so many different variables out there, and we'll build one that is bespoke and custom fit for us.
Clearly it would be a desire, but it's not something that we spend any time really prosecuting or investigating.
There's no indication that will change and
We don't spend any energy on that.
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.
But yeah, that doesn't seem like it's on the horizon.
Yeah, I think the opportunity to take the BBL outside Australia, even if it is for an individual game, is a fascinating opportunity.
And you've talked about the strength and the size of India as a market.
We can't deny that.
That is the reality of global cricket now.
We're close.
