The whole round of Sheffield Shield match has been abandoned because of Phillip Hughes’ serious injury.

The game Hughes was playing in, NSW’s clash with South Australia at the SCG, was called off following the bouncer that felled Hughes on Tuesday afternoon.

The Queensland v Tasmania game at Allan Border Field and the Victoria v WA game at the MCG were also abandoned by Cricket Australia before play on day two on Wednesday.

CA made the decision after consulting with players and the Australian Cricketers Association.

“Given how players across the country are feeling right now, it’s just not the day to be playing cricket and we understand that,” CA general manager of team performance Pat Howard said.

“We are continuing to offer all players and match officials counselling and support at this difficult time.

“Phillip Hughes continues to receive the best possible medical care.

“The thoughts of his teammates and the wider cricket community are with Phillip and his family and friends at this difficult time.”

All six states will receive one point from the round.
