Australia's Will Pucovski retires from cricket at 27 due to prolonged concussion

Former Australian batter Will Pucovski has retired from all forms of cricket due to prolonged after-effects of the latest bout of concussion he suffered 12 months ago. Pucovski last played in the Sheffield Sheild in 2024 when he was hit by a Riley Meredith bouncer and mentioned that he hasn't been the same since then, experiencing 'scary' symptoms. After recommendations from multiple doctors, Pucovski has decided to call it a day and swiftly moved into coaching with the Victoria Premier side Melbourne.
