Melbourne: Planning is under way to place a bat which once belonged to Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes on Mount Everest in a tribute to the batsman who died last month, an official said on Friday.
Cricket Australia chairman Wally Edwards said Friday that the Cricket Association of Nepal had proposed the Everest idea.
Edwards also told a Boxing Day Test lunch there were plans for a 63-over game to be played in Nepal as part of the tribute to Hughes who was 63 not out when he sustained the fatal injury, Australian Associated Press reported.
