www.ptvsports.tv <br /> <br /> <br />Phillip Hughes' Test career appeared on the verge of reignition before he was fatally hit on the head while batting in the Sheffield Shield. <br /> <br />Renowned as a battling and aggressive batsman, Hughes played his final Test 16 months ago at Lord's where Australia lost to England on the way to series defeat that summer. <br /> <br />But days before what would have been his 26th birthday on Sunday, there was a likely vacancy in Australia's top order because of captain Michael Clarke's injury problems, and Hughes was an obvious candidate for the start of a four-match series against India. <br /> <br />Hughes announced himself in international cricket in unique and remarkable fashion when, as a 20-year-old opener in just his second Test against South Africa in March 2009, he became the youngest man to make a century in each innings of a Test - taming a world-beating pace attack led by Dale Steyn with scores of 115 and 160. <br />Cricket players observe a minute silence to pay respect to Phillip Hudges
