Australian cricket team on Monday paid tribute to former opener Phillip Hughes on his third death anniversary

Australian cricket team on Monday paid tribute to former opener Phillip Hughes on his third death anniversary. Remembering their former teammate, the Australian players wore black armbands on the final day of the opening Ashes Test, which was eventually won by the hosts by 10 wickets against England at the Gabba, Brisbane. Meanwhile, opener David Warner looked up to the sky after he reached 63 not out, which was also Hughes' score when he was tragically hit in the head while batting in a Sheffield Shield game in 2014, during Australia's second innings in Brisbane. The Barmy Army, an organisation aimed at helping cricket fans watch and support the England cricket team play all over the world, also paid homage to the late left-hander by chanting 'There's only one Phillip Hughes' to the tune of 'Winter Wonderland' during the opening session of the fifth day of the match.
