The Australian team is wearing black armbands on Friday in memory of Phillip Hughes' 10th death anniversary as well as of former Australia opener Ian Redpath, who passed away on Sunday, December 1. Australia have come into the Test on the back of a 295-run thrashing in the first Test against India in Perth and will look to make a quick comeback.

Hughes, who played 26 Tests, passed away from bleeding on the brain after he was hit by a rising delivery during a domestic game at the Sydney Cricket Ground in November 2014.

Images of a then 25-year-old Hughes lying helpless on the track as players rushed to his aid shocked the world cricket community, sparking an outpouring of grief and calls to make the sport safer.

Cricket Australia has already announced a series of events to mark the death anniversary, coinciding with the ongoing second Test and the black armband was just another mark of remembrance for the cricketer who left the world at a tender age.

On the other, Redpath passed away at the age of 83. He played 66 Tests and five ODIs in an international career that ran from 1964 to 1976. He finished with 4737 Test runs at an average of 43.45. In first-class cricket, he scored 14993 runs from 226 matches, at an average of almost 42. He also had 13 first-class wickets to his name.

Redpath came close to a hundred on Test debut against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when he was bowled by Joe Partridge for 97. It wasn't until February 1969, against the Windies at the Sydney Cricket Ground, that he made his maiden hundred with 132 in the second innings against an attack of Wes Hall, Charlie Griffith, Garry Sobers and Lance Gibbs.
