Fast bowler Sean Abbott could be seen wiping tears during a tribute to the late Phillip Hughes ahead of a Sheffield Shield game on the latter's 10th death anniversary. Hughes died on November 27, 2014 after being struck by a short ball during a Shield game. It was Abbott who had bowled the delivery.

Phil Hughes, who played 26 Tests, 25 ODIs and one T20I for Australia, lost his life three days before his 26th birthday.

A courageous spell of bowling from Sean Abbott on the 10th anniversary of Phillip Hughes’ death almost denied Tasmania its first win of the Sheffield Shield season.
