Women’s World Cup: India, Australia Players Wear Black Armbands In Memory Of Ben Austin
Ferntree Gully Cricket Club: Members of the Indian and Australian teams will be sporting a black armband throughout their semi-final encounter of the Women’s World Cup in memory of Ben Austin, a 17-year-old Aussie teen who died in Melbourne after being hit by the ball on the neck during training.
Austin was practising in the nets ahead of a T20 match when he was hit in the neck by a ball during training at Ferntree Gully, in front of his teammates. Advanced life support and intensive care paramedics rushed him to the hospital in critical condition on Tuesday. After fighting for his life for a day, he passed away on Wednesday.
The balls were delivered by sidearm, also known as 'wanger,' in preparation for a T20 match. Although he was wearing a helmet, it lacked a stem guard.
