Hughes' elder brother is former Australian cricket captain Kim Hughes. [1] Hughes played from 1986 until 1992 for the Orange Free State and Tasmania. He initially moved to Tasmania from home-city of Perth after finding it difficult to break into the Western Australia cricket team,and played in South Africa between 1989 and 1991 as the South African ban was lifted. [1] He was an accomplished right-handed batsman and "solid opener" [1] who scored over 2000 runs in his first-class career. [2]
Following retirement,Hughes became a broadcaster at the Bellerive Oval for ABC Radio Grandstand and a state selector for Tasmania. He also ran his own coaching centre,the Glenn Hughes Cricket Coaching Centre. [1]
In late 2010 Hughes faced allegations of rape by a former lover. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual penetration without consent. [3] Following payment of a $20,000 bail notice,Hughes was released to home detention for the duration of the trial. [1] He lost both his position as state selector for Tasmania and broadcaster for ABC Grandstand. [1] He was subsequently found not guilty of all charges. [4]

He has also previously played cricket in England for Derbyshire and Sussex. A left hand opening batsman,his form for Tasmania throughout the mid-1990s earned him a call up for the Australian national cricket team in the One Day International arena,although after nine games he was dropped. Like some of his contemporary Tasmanian teammates such as Jamie Cox,Dene Hills,and Shaun Young,Di Venuto can be considered unlucky to have not had a more successful international career,as he was playing at a time when the Australian national cricket team was highly dominant,and difficult to earn selection for.
