Johannesburg, Dec 16 : South Africa pace express Dale Steyn has said that Australia cricketer Phillip Hughes' passing would not change his aggressive approach to bowling .

Steyn said that the short-pitched delivery, which struck Hughes on the neck, resulting in the batsman's passing, was out of the ordinary. Hughes lost consciousness and died in a Sydney hospital two days later, aged 25, after being struck by a bouncer.

Steyn, the number one-ranked fast bowler in Test cricket, said that he really feels for Hughes and his family, adding that it's a terrible accident, but admitting that cricket would continue, Sport24 reported.

The South African said that he is still going to bowl a bouncer, run hard and try and take ones head off, but not kill anybody. He added that nobody ever wants to see anyone die in a match.

South Africa have been preparing to take on the West Indies in a three-Test series starting on Wednesday, the report added. (ANI)
