Will Pucovski Forced To Retire From Cricket At 26 Due To Medical Reasons
Big Bash League: Australia batter Will Pucovski has been forced to retire from cricket at the age of 26 due to medical reasons. Pucovski’s cricketing career has been marred by multiple concussions after being struck on the head by bouncers.
A report by 9News Melbourne has said Pucovski’s playing career has ended following a recommendation from a panel of medical experts made a couple of months ago. The medical panel comprised representatives from Cricket Australia, Cricket Victoria, and independent medical experts. It added that the decision has only been formalised contractually by Cricket Victoria this week.
Touted as future batting prodigy, Pucovski played just one Test for Australia - against India at Sydney in 2021, where he made 62 and 10, before a shoulder injury ruled him out of cricketing action for six months. Overall, Pucovski scored 2,350 runs in 36 first-class matches at an average of 45.19.
