But yes, there are there are several discussions happening with the various cricket associations and we will definitely want to partner and you know use the resources that are available and you know that is something we definitely look into for future. And since this World Cup is happening in the USA, you know that’s not something without, you know, without the preparation at home would be the best. SO ICC have set up a team to, you know, to prepare the pitches. So the pitches were actually prepared in in the US for the past few months and they were recently brought in and dropped in into the stadium. So we are expecting a, you know, a decent, you know pitches in terms of, you know, striking a balance between the bat and ball.

So definitely the World Cup is bringing a lot of awareness and then with the opportunity to you know the the cricket is opportunity for cricket to be in the World Olympics.

So as we grow, as we develop and as we grow streamline our process and policies, I think that will automatically set the governance in the right direction. But you know there are few challenges, yes, but it’s not something that is a showstopper or anything.
