Proud to be Nepali and R.I.P Phil Hughes PHILLIP Hughes’ family has given their blessing to an initiative proposed by the Cricket Association of Nepal to play a 63-over tribute match in the country and place a bat at the top of Mt Everest in honour of the former Test batsman. Cricket Australia is working with their Nepalese counterparts to make the plan happen in the next climbing season in March and April, with an Australian cricketer set to travel and skipper one of the two sides against a team led by the Nepal national captain. Hughes’ family won’t have any official involvement in the tribute revealed by Cricket Australia Chairman Wally Edwards at an MCG lunch, but they’ve given it their full support. CA are aware of how popular the “63 not out” phrase has become in the wake of the outpouring of support expressed at Hughes’ passing and have decided to trademark it. Source Fox Sports Australia
