Adil Rashid named Beard of the England v Australia series
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has named England spinner Adil Rashid as Beard of the England v Australia series.
The campaigners say that while Rashid as an impressive organic beard it is the combination of his beard and his impressive spin bowling that sees him win the Award.
Australia v England series are usually notable for facial hair and its impact on matches.
Until recently the Australian have preferred moustaches from Merv Hughes to Mitchell Johnson. England meanwhile have gone with beards most famously Freddie Flintoff’s Ashes winning facial hair.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, this is the first Beard Awad Adil Rashid has won but it is unlikely to be the last. There is real beard power there.
