MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Cricket stadiums will fly flags at half-mast and players will wear black armbands as Australia marks the 10-year anniversary of former test opener Phillip Hughes' death.

Saturday's Sheffield Shield round marks the start of two weeks of commemorations for Hughes, who died days before his 26th birthday in 2014 after being struck by a ball when batting for New South Wales in a domestic match.
