'I have lost a good friend'

“The ball must have gone through the gap here,” a concerned-looking Mushfiqur Rahim told Shakib Al Hasan while the duo were analysing one of their helmets, just before they began training at Mirpur yesterday.
Shakib then took the two helmets and compared them for a minute, before keeping the one he liked for his batting session. It was a scenario that is generally not seen during training; these were after all, the same helmets that they have been batting with throughout the series.
And yet, yesterday's short discussion depicted the concern, if not fear, that has spread following the death of the Australian cricketer, Phil Hughes.
A similar wave was witnessed at Mirpur yesterday. The players did not seem like a team that had just won their first ODI series this year.  
Shakib, who had played under Hughes in the Big Bash, tweeted an emotional message yesterday evening: “I cannot explain enough how traumatic this for me, especially because I knew him personally as we played in the same team for Adelaide strikers. Not only [have] I lost a teammate; [but] also a good friend! My prayers are with him and his family, rest in peace mate!”
Mushfiqur expressed his respect for the player through a press release from the BCB. “Phillip Hughes was an embodiment of the fighting spirit and the world of cricket will miss him. The news has come as a terrible shock. Our thoughts are with Phillip's family, friends and the Australian cricket fraternity. May his soul rest in peace,” stated the release.
Hathurusingha, who had coached Hughes for two years while working for New South Wales, was, according to the BCB's media manager, not in the 'right frame of mind' to speak to the media.
Zimbabwean top order batsman, Hamilton Masakadza, expressed his condolences as well and described the Australian's death as 'really sad'.
In a mark of respect to Phillip Hughes, the Bangladesh and Zimbabwe teams will observe a minute's silence prior to the start of the fourth ODI at Mirpur today and will wear black arm bands.
Elsewhere, the cricket boards of both Pakistan and New Zealand, yesterday, decided to suspend the second day of the third Test. Pakistan manager, Moin Khan, who had met Hughes during a  bilateral series last month, described the Australian as a 'cheerful cricketer', who was 'always ready to talk cricket.'
