Victoria Bushrangers skipper Mathew Wade pays tribute to late Phillip Hughes

Mathew Wade, the skipper of Victoria Bushrangers, which won the Sheffield Shield 2014-15, paid tribute to late Phillip Hughes. After winning the premier domestic title of Australia for the 29th time, he showed off his new tattoo — which was actually a smiling face of Hughes.

Australian cricketer Hughes died because of a fatal injury which he sustained while playing for South Australia against New South Wales at Sydney Cricket ground (SCG) during a Sheffield Shield game on November 25, 2014. The whole sporting world expressed grief following that unfortunate incident.

Meanwhile the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) announced a 63-over Tribute Match which will be played at the Tribhuvan University Stadium in Kathmandu on April 11. An Australian team will combine with the Nepal national team in a 31.3-over-a-side game. CAN has confirmed this news to CricketCountry through a press release.
