AFP, Colombo :
Sri Lanka’s cricket players will observe a two minute silence at the start of their next one-day international against England in Colombo on Saturday as a mark of respect for Australia’s Phillip Hughes.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said national players will also wear black armbands as a sign of mourning for Australian when they take the field in the second ODI at the Premadasa stadium, pending approval from officials.
“We await formal clearance from the match referee,” an official with the Sri Lankan board told AFP, asking not to be named.
