The older brother of Phillip Hughes made his first appearance in Sydney grade cricket since the Australian batsman’s death, notching up the symbolic score of 63.
Jason Hughes reached 63 for Mosman against Sydney, the same number of runs his brother made before being felled by a bouncer over two weeks ago.
Reports suggest Jason did not know the score he was on when he was dismissed.
There were tributes to Phillip during the first Test between Australia and India in Adelaide, with Australia batsman David Warner saying the number 63 would hold extra significance for the current generation of cricketers.
“In this generation I think 100 percent, it’s going to be with us for the rest of our careers,” Warner said in a post-match on-field interview.
“A lot of people would have raised their bats at 63 but in the back of our minds we always are going to look up there and know he’s (Hughes) going to be looking down on us. I am going to carry that for the rest of my career.”
