SEN • April 8th, 2025 12:05 pm
Will Pucovski has announced he is retiring from all forms of cricket with immediate effect.
The 27-year-old exclusively revealed the news with Gerard Whateley on SEN Mornings on Tuesday morning.
Pucovski last played in March last year for Victoria when he took a blow to the helmet from Tasmania's Riley Meredith. That led to his 13th known concussion throughout his sporting career, including two in the first three months of 2024.
The right-hander's decision comes officially after a medical panel recommended he retire last year.
Once considered a great hope of Australian cricket, Pucovski would play just the one Test against India in 2021 at the SCG where he made 62 in his first innings before injuring his shoulder in the field, ruling him out of the rest of the series.
He featured 36 times at the First Class level, scoring seven tons and nine fifties across a promising stint for his state including a top score of 255 not out against South Australia in 2020.
His last First Class ton came against New South Wales at the SCG in February 2024. It would end up being his second last professional game.
