Chapter 1: How close are we to finalizing the BBL opener in India?
How close are you to locking the BBL opener to India?
Yeah, I think the opportunity to take the BBL outside Australia, even if it is for an individual game, is a fascinating opportunity. And you've talked about the strength and the size of India as a market. We can't deny that. That is the reality of global cricket now. We're close. 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. But, um, yeah, it's been, it's been amazing to see the level of interest, not just from India, but around the world in the future of the BBL.
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.
What would you need that to look like? To be a success back home, it's easy to understand what a success would look like as a one-off game in India. For whoever those teams are and for the starting point, to resonate with people back home, what would it need to look like? Yeah, it needs to look like a BBL game.

Chapter 2: What challenges come with taking the BBL outside Australia?
I think we... We have a unique product on the global landscape. 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. We want people to turn on the telly if we end up executing this game.
Turn on the telly and see that looks like a BBL game with an Indian flair, I guess, with, with, if it is in Chennai, for example, that has a unique, they've got a unique crowd and passionate and there'll be lots of yellow Dhoni shirts in the crowd, I'm sure.
So, um, but first and foremost, it needs to be a great experience for our players if we, if we do it, um, and, and a big crowd and then look back into our Australian fans. Like that's an amazing BBL experience, even if it's not in Australia.
And again, it sort of goes to the question, will it resonate? Will people resent the fact that it's not here or will they go, this is a big deal on an elevated stage?
Yeah, I mean, I think it's the latter. I mean, we'll find out if we end up doing it. I think part of the DNA of the BBL is from day one has been taking chances, taking risks, innovating and trying new things. Even 15 years in, we've got new rules coming in this year. We've got new contracting models.
