Phillip Hughes has died who suffered head injury during a Sheffield Shiled game. Australia team doctor Peter Brukner said he never regained consciousness and died in hospital in Sydney. He was not in pain before he passed and was surrounded by his family and close friends.
Hughes collapsed face first on the ground after being hit by the bouncer from Sean Abbott during the Sheffield Shield game.
Hughes who has played 26 tests & 25 One-day matches made his debut at the age of 20 against South Africa in 2009. He became the youngest batsman to score two centuries in a single test in his only second match of carrier.
As a cricket community we mourn his loss and extend our deepest sympathies to Phillip’s family and friends at this incredibly sad time.
