Cricket Australia to commission review into death of Phillip Hughes

Cricket Australia has confirmed it will commission an independent review into the death of batsman Phillip Hughes.

Test player Hughes died in November aged 25, two days after being struck on the top of the neck by a delivery during a domestic match in Sydney.

The statement added the review was not about blame but "preventing an accident of this nature happening again".

The review will be held with the support of Hughes's family and is expected to publish its findings later this year.
