We've got a few things to work through and finalise, and we're optimistic about that.
We'll be looking to...
make some announcements hopefully in the, again, in the coming weeks alongside the schedule.

I think that while that comes with some interesting discussions on ownership and the like, what it does reinforce is just how passionate and popular the BBL is globally.
Yeah, it needs to look like a BBL game.

There's nothing like a BBL game in world cricket.
You can go to any other league and you'll see different things and different strengths, but a BBL game in Australia is a unique and powerful product, and we can see that in our crowds.

Even 15 years in, we've got new rules coming in this year.
We've got new contracting models.
