Phillip Hughes death: Cricket Australia's James Sutherland speaks to media at SCG James Sutherland, chief executive of Cricket Australia. CRICKET Australia boss James Sutherland says it's too soon to make a decision about next week's first Test, which feels "a million miles away" now. Sutherland, together with general manager of team performance Pat Howard and Cricket NSW CEO Andrew Jones, fronted the media at the SCG on Friday morning. The CA chief acknowledged that a decision on whether or not the match against India, due to begin on Thursday in Brisbane, needs to be made over the coming days. But he said Hughes" tragic passing is still too raw to make a call either way. I know everyone wants to know about cricket and when it goes on and what's happening. We all love cricket and no-one loved cricket more than Phillip," Sutherland said. Cricket will go on and it will go on when we're ready. To be honest, we haven't broached that subject with the players yet. We will in time, but to be honest, they've got other things on their mind, and I know for many people, seven days doesn't seem too far away ... but in other ways it is a million miles away. I can remember just in the last few hours conversations with Phillip's father telling me just how much he and the family love cricket and Phillip loved cricket more than anyone, and he would want nothing more than for the game to continue, but, as I said before, the game will continue at Test level when we're ready. Sutherland said he had been in contact with his counterparts from the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and they had been completely understanding of the unique and tragic set of circumstances. They completely understand the situation and they're doing everything they can to do that. They will prepare themselves in the best way possible (India's tour match against a Cricket Australia XI, set to get underway on Friday, was cancelled). They understand that these are unique and extraordinary circumstances and I guess both teams will have, if a Test match goes ahead, both teams will have a very different preparation.
