The Sydney Cricket Ground Trust has unveiled a plaque to commemorate the late cricketer Phillip Hughes.

The plaque has been placed outside the Australian change rooms.

The fourth and final Test against India at the SCG will be the first time the squad has competed on the field since Hughes was fatally hit by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield game against New South Wales five weeks ago.

Captain Steve Smith says the plaque is a fitting way to remember their fallen team-mate.

"I think it's great that the Trust has been able to do something like that for us," he told reporters.

I'm glad there's a permanent tribute to him at the SCG now, and also kudos to Cricket Australia for the way they've supported Phillip Hughes parents since the accident...
