Named after Maros Kolpak, a Slovak handball player. Essentially allowed people from Countries with European Union agreements the same right to work as EU citizens. Means he doesn't have to be registered as an "Overseas" player - of which sides oniy allowed one in CC Cricket

After 2019, or whenever Brexit is complete, I'm wondering whether how Kolpak agreements will be affected.
