Cricketer Phil Hughes collapses after being hit with a bouncer

Australia Test batsman Phil Hughes, 25, has died in hospital, two days after being hit on the head by a delivery during a domestic match in Sydney.

Australia team doctor Peter Brukner said he never regained consciousness.

Hughes, who also played for Hampshire, Middlesex and Worcestershire, was struck by a short-pitched ball from Sean Abbott.

"It's an understatement to say we're completely devastated," said Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland.
