Australia’s Will Pucovski has Unfortunately Suffered Another Injury
Australia’s Will Pucovski has unfortunately suffered another injury, marking an early end to his return to first-class cricket.
The Sheffield Shield Face-Off Against Victoria:-
The talented batsman suffered a head injury during practice on the fourth morning of the Sheffield Shield encounter between South Australia and Victoria at the Adelaide Oval.
Pucovski took the field with the rest of his Victorian teammates on Saturday (February 12) morning as the home team resumed their second innings, but was dismissed after being dismissed for just three balls.

After an hour or so of speculation about his health status, Pucovski was finally seen on his way back to Melbourne from the Adelaide Oval during a lunch break with Cricket Victoria’s general manager Shaun Graf. Travis Dean replaced him as a concussion substitute.
The 24-year-old was coincidentally returning to the Sheffield Shield last October after missing the early part of the summer with another injury caused by a helmet injury while batting in the nets during a training session.
Will actually bowls the first two deliveries of the day at mid-on. All he had to do was bow down and pick up the ball on both occasions. But as Scott Boland’s third ball of the day was played towards mid-wicket, you could see Pucovsky leaning awkwardly and holding his knees in the prologue.
Marcus Harris for the Entire Innings:-
It was only after Nick Maddinson was leaving out to open the batting with Marcus Harris for Victoria’s second innings that something might not be right with Pucovski.
Match referee Simon Fry was seen chatting with Jason Gillespie. An animated Redbacks coach, near the South Australian dug-out before the start of Victoria’s innings. Then he went on to do the same with Handscomb.
Minutes after Victoria opening his innings. Reserve batsman Travis Dean was seeing receiving a throwdown from one of the coaches in the nets. It is around this time that Pukowski was assessing by CA-authorized sports physician Geoff Verall and the Victorian team’s medical staff.
The team organization was still unconvincing. About Pukowski’s state of health. And Dean was telling me to be preparing. If he was expecting to step in as a concussion substitute.
Graf then left the Victorian dressing room. And was seen talking on the phone for about 10 minutes in the practice area. About 10 or so minutes later, Graf and Pucovski, with their kit and their sunglasses, left the Adelaide Oval.
The Concussion Symptom Also Unknown:-
This all-too-familiar incident leaves the rest of the season at Pukowski’s home under a cloud, with her latest concussion symptoms still unknown. It will also call into question his future in the game itself, even if he has shown unflinching courage and grit to come back from his constant setbacks.
You just have to look back on last summer. For the fifteenth time, Will Pucovski looked all set to make his Test debut last summer. For the fifteenth time, this was not to happen.

Pukowski was strucking too late by Karthik Tyagi’s reserve bowling during the last day of India’s warm-up match against Australia A at the Drummoyne Oval in Sydney.
Only after this, remove your shoulder while diving for the ball on the ground. This led to him taking a break of six months as he underwent reconstitution surgery.
It is before the start of the rest of his, hopefully, free from injury, career took a hit again in October, just as it was in Adelaide on Saturday.
