Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has revealed that he still remembers his 'little brother' Phillip Hughes as the one year anniversary of the former Test batsman's tragic death nears.

Hughes succumbed to injuries on November 25 last year after being struck by a bouncer during a domestic match in Sydney. The 25-year-old South Australian batsman was knocked out after the ball made impact under his helmet, on the back of the neck.

Recalling the tragic day, Clarke said that he thinks about his former team mate everyday and urged that the sporting community to continue supporting the Hughes family and show their respect there, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Clarke gave a moving eulogy at Hughes' funeral in December 2014 and dedicated Australia's 2015 World Cup final win to Hughes.
