Cricket Australia To Honour Late Philip Hughes On 10th Anniversary
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley: Cricket Australia is set to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Phillip Hughes' tragic passing, with tributes planned across domestic and international matches. Flags will be flown at half-mast, players will don black armbands and moments of silence will honour the memory of Hughes, whose life was cut short just days before his 26th birthday in 2014.
The Sheffield Shield matches starting this Saturday will initiate two weeks of reflection, coinciding with the anniversary of Hughes' untimely death on November 27, 2014.
South Australia, Hughes’ former team, will face Western Australia in Adelaide, while New South Wales, his childhood side, will host Tasmania at the SCG. Queensland and Victoria will also participate, with black armbands and moments of silence observed before play on the fourth day of all matches.
