In an emotional reminder, Jason Hughes, older brother of late cricketer Phillip Hughes, returned to Sydney grade cricket scoring 63 runs while playing for Mosman against Sydney.
The figure '63' has become an emotional milestone for Australian cricketers since Phillip's tragic passing as the late batsman's last score had been '63 not out'.
A 63-second applause was observed at the start of the first test between India and Australia in Adelaide Oval.
According to Mosman team official, Jason was not aware of his score when he fell to the bowling of Nathan Sowter, Sport24 reported.
Phillip Hughes passed away after succumbing to injuries he endured from a bouncer at the SCG. The 25-year-old South Australian batsman, who was pushing for a Test recall against India in Brisbane, was knocked out after the ball made impact under his helmet, behind his left ear.
