MCA president Pawar expresses condolence on Hughes death

India TV News  

Mumbai: Mumbai Cricket Association President Sharad Pawar on Friday expressed his grief at the demise of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who met tragic end after succumbing to fatal head injury. It's a very sad thing for the cricketing fraternity as we have lost an upcoming and talented player and it has come as a shock to all cricket lovers like us," Pawar, a former BCCI and ICC President, said at the MCA Annual Awards function, here Friday. The 25-year-old cricketer, who was in contention for a Test recall for the coming series against India, died at the St Vincent's Hospital yesterday, where he was battling for life after being hit on the head by a bouncer from Sean Abbott in a Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday. I said this can't be avoided and it is a freak accident and youngsters should continue to play cricket," Savant said saying that former great players from Mumbai had faced fierce bowlers without helmets.
