NSW and South Australia cricket officials will on Sunday announce when their teams will return to the field following the death of Phillip Hughes.

They are scheduled to return to action in Sheffield Shield fixtures on Tuesday.

Both states have promised to give their players as much time as they need to grieve for Hughes, who died in a Shield match between the two sides at the SCG.

The Blues are due to take on Queensland at the SCG while South Australia are due in Tasmania.

Players from both sides returned to their sport on Saturday via grade competitions.

Many of NSW’s top players including Pat Cummins, Moises Henriques and Doug Bollinger turned out for their local clubs while all South Australian players returned to grade cricket.

Officials from both states on Saturday night conversed with players to guage their state of mind following their club matches.

South Australian officials say they expect their game to go ahead.

Sean Abbott, the NSW bowler who delivered the ball that felled Hughes, did not return to grade cricket on Saturday.

Queensland on Saturday named its side to take on NSW with Cameron Gannon and Cameron Brimblecombe added to a 13-man squad in place of paceman Ryan Harris, who is on Australian duty.
