Looks like there’s no DRS because Fox is broadcasting and they wouldn’t pay for it?!

Why is the way the game is actually played influenced by the broadcaster? Surely whoever runs the game makes that decision and pays for it at every ground?
I can't wrap my head around this. This has been a big problem in the WBBL (might still be?) where games are being played under different conditions depending on the broadcast. But ever since the 7 broadcast deal Fox have had around 10 exclusive games a year and they've never had this problem???

I don’t know that for a fact, but saw it mentioned elsewhere. It’s embarrassing if true. You’re either running a proper competition or you’re not!
