Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

Some clubs may well look for a partner in cricket.

Whateley

All of those things are on the table, but ultimately the decision is to come in at a club level, at a minority stake and try to add value.

Whateley

Look, I think that's overblown because I think India are such a huge part of cricket, but we're not looking to sell the game to India.

I mean, that's it, full stop, next sentence.

We are looking to add value to our clubs and bring good partners in.

Whateley

And the decision on who those partners are are at the behest of the states.

Whateley

So it's on them to choose their partners.

Now, in relation to India, what I find a little polarizing is almost every business, every government agency I talk to are desperately keen to do business in India to create diplomacy and trade and opportunity.

Whateley

So the flip of that is that we would look to do that in our country as well, in some parts of the BBL, not the entire part.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

And I think we've got to have a very open mind.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

I don't think we should be closing our minds to any type of partner who wants to come into cricket.

Whateley

The idea is to add value to cricket, not take it away.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

Yeah, look, there's no doubt we could have and should have done a better job of the public narrative of why we're doing private capital and why the concept of private capital.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

is valuable for Australian cricket.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

I do think it's easy to run the other argument because ultimately people don't like change.

Whateley

In any form of life, cricket particularly, change comes hard.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

So on reflection, we probably could have and should have done a better job of that.

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

In saying that, we have desperately tried to run this project with our stakeholders, with our members, with our players, and have...

Whateley
Shining light on the privatisation debate | Todd Greenberg - Cricket Australia CEO (12.05.26)

a good natural discourse through that.

Whateley

And, you know, one of the things I am proud of is despite some tension in the system, relationships are really strong.
