He captained Australia in 28 Test matches between 1979 and 1984 before captaining a rebel Australian team in a tour of South Africa, a country which at the time was subject to a sporting boycott opposing apartheid.

During the split between the establishment Australian Cricket Board and the breakaway World Series Cricket, Hughes stayed with the establishment. Hughes' captaincy record with Australia was hindered by a succession of matches being played away from home (just eight of his 28 Te ...
