The family of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes would like the first Test between India and Australia at the Brisbane, starting December 4, to go ahead as per the schedule.
The official website of Cricket Australia (CA) reports that the South Australian Cricket Association chief executive Keith Bradshaw has informed that the family is ‘devastated’ after losing their son. Bradshaw said, “There really are no words that we can use to express or feeling of loss and hurt at the moment. The players are devastated. They are shattered.”
“Phillip was a popular, loved member of the team. They are trying as best they can to come to terms with this tragic loss. We are obviously supporting them through that with professional help, and it’s an hour-by-hour, day-to-day process at the moment. Our attention now turns of course to the care and the love of Phillip’s family, but also to our staff, to the players here in South Australia and around the country, the Australian cricket team and of course the New South Wales team,” he added.
