Australian batter Will Pucovski suffered yet another concussion during his Sheffield Shield outing for Victoria against Tasmania at the Blundstone Arena on Sunday.
Walking in at number three in a 442-run chase, Pucovski suffered a blow on the head of his second delivery from a Riley Meredith bouncer. Pucovski attempted to duck against a delivery that shot up from the pitch and it hit him, forcing the 26-year-old out of the field. It is unlikely that the right-hand batter will take any further part in the match. 'Will is currently in the hands of our medical professionals. We'll look to provide an updated in due course,' a Cricket Victoria spokesperson was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. Pucovski, widely regarded among the brightest prospects in the Australian circuit, has been a victim of on-field concussions since the start of his career. The Victorian had suffered three concussions before his First-Class debut. Pucovski also suffered a blow to his head on FC debut while fielding in February 2017. Between October 2017 and his Test debut in 2021, Pucovski would suffer four more concussions of varying degrees.
