Phil Hughes dies

Australia batsman Phil Hughes is in action during the cricket match between Australia and South Africa in the one day international tri-series which includes Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club, on August 27, 2014

Australian batsman Phil Hughes passed away at the age of 25 on November 27 2014, just two days after being struck on the head by a short-pitched delivery at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Tributes quickly poured in for Hughes, who played 26 Test matches and 25 one-day internationals after bursting onto the scene as a teenager with New South Wales.

The accident has sparked a debate over the safety of modern-day cricketers and the effectiveness of helmets.
