FULL Interview: Michael Clarke Delivers Emotional and Tearful Statement on Phillip Hughes Tribute

Australia cricket captain Michael Clarke has paid an emotional tribute to his teammate Phillip Hughes, who died this week after being struck by a cricket ball.
He also announced that Hughes' one-day international shirt number of 64 would be retired.
Hughes died on Thursday as a result of the injuries he sustained when he was struck by a ball while batting for South Australia in a domestic match against New South Wales.
Reading out a statement on behalf of the Australian team, Clarke was visibly upset and had to pause to compose himself several times.
He said: "Words cannot express the loss we all feel as a team right now. To Greg, Virginia [his parents], Jason and Megan [his siblings] we share the deep pain that you're feeling.
"Last night, I asked Cricket Australia if Hughesy's Australian one-day international shirt number, 64, could be retired, to which they agreed. That means so much.
"His legacy of trying to improve each and every day will drive us for the rest of our lives.
"Our dressing room will never be the same, we loved him and always will."
It was the first time Clarke had spoken publicly since reading out a statement just hours after his close friend's death had been announced.
In the address at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the 33-year-old paid tribute to Hughes' spirit and vowed to honour his memory.
"Apart from when he was home on the farm with his beloved cattle, Hughesy was at his happiest playing cricket for his country with his mates," he said.
"Things were always put into perspective when Hughesy said: 'Where else would you rather be, boys, than playing cricket for your country?'
"We're going to miss that cheeky grin and that twinkle in his eye. He epitomised what that Baggy Green is about and what it meant to us all.
"The world lost one of its great blokes this week and we are all the poorer for it. Our promise to Hughesy's family is that we will do everything we can to honour his memory."
The funeral of Hughes will take place on Wednesday with Australia's First Test match against India, which was due to start on Thursday postponed.
