A coronial inquest will be held into the death of Phillip Hughes.
The NSW Crown Solicitor's Office has begun subpoenaing documents relating to the the former Test batsman, who was struck in the side of the neck by a ball while batting for South Australia against NSW in a Sheffield Shield match in November and died in St Vincent's hospital two days later.
A date for an inquest before the State Coroner's Court is yet to be set but the matter will be discussed further at an in-chambers review set down for September 29.
"An inquest will be held into the death of Phillip Hughes. A date has not yet been set," a spokesperson from the coroner's court said.
It has been nine months since the 25-year-old's death shocked the cricket world and the sporting landscape and the delay in the circumstances surrounding it being examined more closely has come about because of the continuing inquest into the Lindt cafe siege, which is being presided over by the State Coroner, Michael Barnes.
A review into the events that unfolded on the SCG on November 25 had already been commissioned by Cricket Australia and has commenced, run by Melbourne lawyer David Curtain. The sport's governing body has signalled it will share information with authorities ahead of the inquest.
"We have had open dialogue with the NSW Crown Solicitor and have indicated that we will be as co-operative as possible with any coronial inquest," a CA spokesman said on Friday.
"We remain absolutely determined to see if anything could be done to prevent a similar accident happening again. Never again do we want to see a tragedy of that nature happen on a cricket field.
"We believe it is entirely appropriate to progress our own independent review into the incident to help determine if we need to implement any further safety measures in time for the 2015-16 season.
"We will share the findings of that review with the coroner if requested."
A spokesman for the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust said it would also be "co-operating fully during the process".
CA chief executive James Sutherland has said previously their review would not attempt to blame anyone for the accident but said the sport had "a deep responsibility and obligation to look into the events of that awful day". That has already resulted in increased medical presence at CA matches and led to more attention on helmet safety.
Australian Cricketers' Association Chief Executive Alistair Nicholson said retracing the tragic incident would being back some terrible memories.
"We are very conscious that revisiting the events of last year may have an impact on players. We've been in touch and reminded them that they continue to have the full support of the ACA and are able to access excellent counselling and related services at any stage," Nicholson said.
As reported by Fairfax Media last month the higher helmet standards set by the British Standards Institute are likely to become compulsory for all players in first-class cricket by the start of the new domestic season and a newly developed foam guard that sits behind a batsman's ear is also being highly recommended.
The first anniversary of Hughes' death will fall on the first day of the third Test between Australia and New Zealand in Adelaide, which will be the first ever day-night Test match.
NSW and South Australia will play a tribute match for Hughes at Coffs Harbour, near his home town of Macksville, from February 25 as part of the next Sheffield Shield season.
