New EU Directive on International Cricket
The European Union today passed a new directive with regards to the amount of international cricket that any citizen of its states (i.e. England) can play.
The new legislation has come about as a result of a delegation of England players who complained that they currently have to play too much international cricket.
Taking Paul Collingwood and Jimmy Anderson as test cases (as they are members of the test, ODI and T20 sides) EU commissioners were astounded to hear that each player could have played over 100 days international cricket in 2009. That is nearly one day in three and at least twice as many as EU or Domestic MPs work each year.
