SHARJAH: New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum, one-time team-mate of late Phillip Hughes, said he was all the time thinking of the Australian during his fiery double-hundred against Pakistan in Sharjah on Saturday.

“You are all in our thoughts, our hearts and in Phil’s case, our memories,” said McCullum in a message released by New Zealand Cricket.

McCullum said the thoughts of his whole team were with Hughes.

“Cricket is a sport, but the cricket community is a family. We are here for you, we are thinking of you,” said McCullum of Hughes, who he played with in Twenty20 cricket in Australia.
