But this is about the next generation of cricketers and is the model that we have been building.

very fortunate to enjoy in Australian cricket, the model I mean by generating revenues out of bilateral cricket, enjoying that revenue, putting it into a revenue share with players, being able to invest in our players and our pathways to make sure Australian cricket's sustainable.

Is that a model that will suffice for us in the next generation?

It's a very big question of which to answer and people have alternate views.

Some of those views is we should hold off selling any of our assets, try to do as much as we can now and generate a return later.

There's an opposing view which says we should try to take some of that capital now and invest that so that we protect our future.

I don't think there's a perfect answer, but in roles like ours, you have to have a position.

You have to listen to all the inputs, and you have to have a position.

You have to make a recommendation, and that's where we're at.

Well, look, I think there's always risk about bringing other partners in, but there's also risk of not bringing partners in.

And so, you know, you've heard me say this before, there's risk and reward on both these fronts.

The risk of bringing people in and not having the level of controls is real.

So that's on us.

That's on us as the governing body to make sure of that.

Let's be really clear here.

There's not a capital investment coming into Cricket Australia.

There's not a capital investment coming in to the league, to the BBL.

It's coming in in a minority stake in clubs and clubs who can choose and determine their own partner.

Now, some clubs will be looking very much at a non-cricketing partner, someone who can assist them, grow their capability, capacity, commercial outcomes.

fan engagement, those sorts of things to make it a better experience for their club.
