The Indian cricket team's second warm-up game against Cricket Australia XI at Adelaide has been called off following the tragic death of Phillip Hughes. The two-day match, which was to begin tomorrow, was India's last practice fixture before the first Test against Australia, scheduled to start in Brisbane from December 4. The Australian cricketer died at St. Vincent Hospital in Sydney today, two days after he was struck by a bouncer while batting in a Sheffield Shield game at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Hughes was 25. Cricket Australia has also cancelled the ongoing round of Sheffield Shield games. The second day of the Sharjah Test between New Zealand and Pakistan was also suspended following the shocking news.
