    Nobody to be blamed for Hughes' death: Inquiry
  • The inquest into the death of cricketer Phil Hughes has revealed that there was no body that could be held responsible for his death.

    The inquest also said there had been no "malicious intent" from New South Wales' Sean Abbott, who bowled the fatal delivery to Hughes.

    However, Hughes' coroner made safety recommendations to prevent such injuries in the future.
