Australia to mark 10-year anniversary of Hughes’ death during 2nd AUS vs IND Test

The Hindu  

Cricket stadiums will fly flags at half-mast and players will wear black armbands as Australia marks the 10-year anniversary of former test opener Phillip Hughes’ death. Saturday’s Sheffield Shield round marks the start of two weeks of commemorations for Hughes, who died days before his 26th birthday in 2014 after being struck by a ball when batting for New South Wales in a domestic match. The match’s December 6 start date is almost 10 years to the day since test cricket resumed in Australia following Hughes’ death. “We wanted to ensure that the Hughes family, particularly, were comfortable with any commemorations and that we celebrate Phillip’s life and incredible achievements appropriately.” Hughes’ death rocked world cricket and plunged the local game into mourning.
