Australia Test batsman Phil Hughes, 25, has died in
hospital, two days after being hit on the head by a delivery
during a domestic match in Sydney.
Australia team doctor Peter Brukner said he never regained
consciousness.
Hughes, who also played for Hampshire, Middlesex and
Worcestershire, was struck by a short-pitched ball from
Sean Abbott.
"It's an understatement to say we're completely
devastated," said Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland.
"The word tragedy gets used too often in sport, but this
freak accident is a real life tragedy."
Australia captain Michael Clarke read out a statement on
behalf of the Hughes family at a news conference.
