The match between the New South Wales Blues and West End Redbacks at the SCG was abandoned yesterday after Hughes was rushed to hospital having been struck on the head by a Sean Abott bouncer. But after consultation with the players and the Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) the other two matches - in Melbourne and Brisbane - were also called off.
