Beard Liberation Front renews call on Brendan McCullum to shave his beard off

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has renewed its call for England Men’s cricket supremo Brendan McCullum to shave his beard off as the second  men’s Test Match summer at the Oval concluded with a heavy defeat for England.

The campaigners say that while McCullum’s beard was a distinctive part of Bazball, in more recent times it has become associated with poor performances by the England side and post the Lords Test a concerning issue around the culture of the team.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, as things currently stand Brendan McCullum’s beard is bringing English and Welsh Men’s Cricket into disrepute. A clean shave might help England towards a razor sharp performance.
