Sean Abbott was emotional during a tribute to Phillip Hughes on the 10th anniversary of his death, as he played for New South Wales against Tasmania. Abbott, who bowled the delivery that struck Hughes, wiped away tears during a moment of silence before the match. Hughes died on November 27, 2014, after being hit by a bouncer in a domestic game. His death shocked the cricket world and led to increased safety discussions. Abbott was consulted before the match and performed well, taking 4 wickets, but NSW lost by 55 runs. Hughes' family remembered him as a loving and humorous person who cherished playing cricket. Former teammate David Warner reflected on Hughes' talent, suggesting he could have been an even better player than himself or Steve Smith.
