Ben Stokes & Chris Woakes named as Beards of the Summer 2020 Tests
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers has named England players Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes as the Beards of the Summer 2020 Tests.
The campaigners say that, partly due to lockdown conditions, the Summer 2020 Test series between England and the West Indies and England and Pakistan were amongst the most hirsute of recent times. There was a high level of gravitas adding facial hair in all the teams.
However with outstanding performances with bat and ball and consistency of hirsuteness Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes have been judged the Beards of the Summer 2020 Tests.
There is a special mention for the clean-shaven-stubble-beard-clean shaven dialectic that Jimmy Anderson developed and for the on-trend facial hair of Jofra Archer.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, this summer’s Tests have been a demonstration of beard power, but within that Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes stood as hirsute ambassadors for the game
