Cricket Australia will also pay tribute to him during three upcoming Sheffield Shield matches when players will wear black armbands and flags will fly at half-mast. Hughes, who played 26 Tests for Australia, passed away after being hit by a bouncer during a home match on the ground in 2014, a few days before his 26th birthday.
