During the 2nd T20I between India and Australia, players from both teams wore black armbands to honor 17-year-old Ben Austin, who tragically passed away after being struck by a cricket ball during training.
Austin was batting at the Ferntree Gully Cricket Club in Melbourne when a ball, thrown side-arm by a teammate, hit his neck. He was wearing a helmet without a neck guard.
Despite being placed on a ventilator, he succumbed to his injuries, evoking memories of Phil Hughes’ tragic accident in 2014. Ferntree Gully Cricket Club confirmed Austin’s death on Thursday.
