The proposal sounds like something out of Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House. Every 18 year old British subject and the UK's numerous illegal aliens (They must be from the Milky Way) will be required to serve in the Cricket League for at least one year!?

Ticket prices are expected to plummet faster than US currency since there will be more matches than there are British subjects, a true plus from the Labor Party perspective.
