And we have managed to do that.

We have banned betting, any visible betting partnerships from 2027 onwards.

We did, as many of the listeners would have heard about and read,

We did allow teams this year to kind of transition across as a last chance if they really needed to, to go with a betting partner.

And that's what we accepted given this year and its unique circumstances.

But in really positive news, the teams have taken that on board, bought into the objectives, bought into the strategy.

And we won't have any betting partners on front of shirts at all this year.

They've all managed to secure partners from a variety of different industries.

So that's, I think, positive for the sport, for the competition.

And then obviously from next year, it's banned completely.

I doubt about any point, but I think for now the 100 format has been really successful for us.

And so for the time being, it will remain as a 100 ball format.

I think it's what's really important for any sporting tournament is the strength of foundations within teams.

It's home country.

So whether you're the NFL, the Premier League, the IPL, the strength in their home territory is important.

And for us, as just very eloquently explained there, the format allows for double headers.

It allows for BBC to air it live on BBC Two and things like that, which allow it to achieve what it's trying to achieve and achieve that growth ambitions.

Fantastic.

Thank you, Vikram.
