So that hasn't changed.

It's an IP merger.

It's a merger of staff, but it's not necessarily a merger of talent yet.

That's probably a year away.

So Will Sutherland, who plays for the Renegades, and the captain of Victoria, I would imagine, without speaking to him, he would prefer to play for the navy blue Melbourne team at the MCG.

Because he's contracted for the Renegades, he won't be able to do that for at least a year.

Yes, Singapore's been mentioned a lot from an expansion perspective because in an ideal scenario for Cricket Australia, they'd have an early morning game in New Zealand, they'd then have games across the eastern seaboard and into Perth in the evening, and then a game at the very end of the day in Singapore.

Right.

So to block out the time zone.

So Singapore's very much in the hunt.

Okay.

So this will be partly an Indian production?

We don't know.

We don't know.

Cricket Victoria is open to selling this secondary franchise to anyone around the world.

The main thing they want, clearly, is money, but also they want to create a rivalry between the Victorian team, the Melbourne, insert nickname, and whoever the secondary franchise is.

That makes sense.

Yeah, they're the ones with the money.

They've got the IPL franchises that are buying other franchises around the world.

They would be the favourites.
