India and Australia are playing the pink-ball Test match once again at the same venue, the Adelaide Oval, the same ground where India was bowled out for just 36 runs in 2020 with the same ball. However, this time, things look more prepared on the Indian side. India has played a few pink-ball games since that match and recently secured a big win in Perth against Australia . However, one thing that caught attention is the Australian players wearing black armbands on their sleeves, which came as a surprise. What is the reason behind this?
Why are Australian cricketers wearing black armbands against India
The reason Australian players are wearing black armbands during the ongoing pink-ball Test against India in Adelaide is that the team is marking the 10th death anniversary of cricketer Phil Hughes. Hughes tragically passed away on November 27, 2014, at the age of 25, after being struck on the neck by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. This gesture serves as a tribute to his memory during this crucial pink-ball game.
