Cricket Australia has decided to retire late batsman Phillip Hughes' one day international shirt number 64, captain Michael Clarke said on Saturday.
Hughes, 25, died on Thursday from massive bleeding on the brain, two days after being knocked unconscious by a bouncer while batting at a domestic match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
"I asked Cricket Australia if Hughesy's Australian one-day international shirt number, 64, could be retired, to which they agreed. It means so much," Clarke said in a statement.
"Our promise to the Hughes family is that we will do everything we can to honour his memory. He epitomised what the baggy green is about and what it means to us all. Our dressing room will never be the same."
No decision has been announced about the first Test with India, which is due to begin in Brisbane Thursday.
