Sixers skipper Moises Henriques says Daniel Hughes’ latest injury setback is “very concerning”, but the veteran batter isn’t entirely sold on the idea of introducing a replacement system that would allow teams to sub on like-for-like players.
Hughes came off in the Melbourne Renegades’ innings with a left arm injury having just returned from a broken elbow, and despite hopes he’d be fine to bat, he never came in as the Sixers chased down the target of 170 with nine balls to spare. Jack Edwards was promoted to No.3 and scored a fluent 37, while Henriques was the star with an unbeaten 53 in the successful chase at the SCG.
But there are serious concerns for Hughes ahead of Saturday’s Sydney Smash, while teammate Hayden Kerr is also in some doubt after he was forced to retire hurt late in the innings with what looked to be a hamstring injury but turned out to be cramp. Dan Hughes appears to have injured himself going for what would've been a brilliant catch. ðo WATCH #BBL14 on Ch.
