A promising cricket star who was forced to retire last year due to multiple strokes would be “in talks with the Victoria cricket” on the conclusion of a financial settlement relating to his premature retirement.
Will Pucovski, 27, revealed to Gerard Whateley on Sen 1116 today that he was officially withdrawing from sport due to repeated head injuries.
In March 2024, the opening drummer, which had been supported to become a pillar on the Australian test side, was hit in the helmet by a quick ball by the Tassie Pace Riley Meredith Bowler player.
A medical panel had recommended to withdraw from the sport with this concussion being on the 13th of his career. He had kept the time for his career until today.
While admitting to Whateley that he “always seeks answers” concerning the symptoms he has undergone for his injury, he is also now in talks with his old state for appropriate payment, according to the Daily Telegraph.
It is understood that none of the parties wants only talks to turn into a legal confrontation.

The Victoria drummer had undergone a concussion last year, the 13th in his career, and was advised by the doctors to call the time on sport
It is understood that he is now in talks with Victoria Cricket for a potential payment payment
But if none of the parties can agree on the conditions of what constitutes a reasonable payment in Pucovski, it is possible that the question can degenerate.
The point of sale adds that the legal advisor of Pucovski is Peter Gordon, main partner at Gordon Legal. He has also already been president of Western Bulldogs.
“I had a ridiculous time trying to find answers,” Pucovski told Whateley on Sen.
“I saw a lot of experts, why did I have all these problems over a long time?”
“Is there a way to navigate this area?” I met a lot of different people, but unfortunately, he reached the stadium where I still suffer and I don’t really have the answers.
“Mental health is a part – which is linked to concussion stuff. I suffer from fatigue. One weird thing is that I fight with things on my left side. I am 27 years old and I hope I have a good life in front of me.
The cricket star is expected to marry her fiancée Emma Stonier this Friday, but opened up to how her symptoms had an impact on her life at home.
“For a few months, after (last cerebral concussion), I had trouble doing anything, walking in the house was a fight,” he said.
He also revealed that concussion injuries had had an impact in his life away from the cricket field
“My fiancée was annoyed because I did not contribute to the tasks. I slept a lot.
“From there, it was a difficult year, many symptoms did not disappear, which led me to this decision.
“The first months were horrible, but things did not leave me.
“ It unfortunately happened to a scene now where about a year on the track (I am) still suffers, I still haven’t really had the answers that I have looked for in terms of why I always receive these symptoms, and he came to make this decision.
“When the symptoms are underway, it’s quite frightening.”
Pucovski had been supported to become a future test star, after having made his first and only beginnings Baggy Greens at SCG in 2021, marking 62 points in the first round against India.
He would continue 2,350 first class races on 36 shield games, with an average of 45.19 points per game.
In the match before his retirement, he struck 131 points during the confrontation of the Victoria shield against South New Wales.
He added that he was looking for answers after suffering the head injury last season
Meanwhile, the Melbourne Cricket Club has announced that Pucovski would hold a new role as head coach of its male foreground program.
The 27 -year -old had already played for the MCC junior academy, but said he felt “honored” to play the role.
“I feel very honored to have the opportunity to train the Prime Minister of MCC’s male cricket program,” he said.
“It has always been my cricket house, I have always liked to play for the club and now to become a coach, it means a lot for me.
“I have spent a little time in the club in recent years and I helped a stick coach if necessary.
“I am now really excited to play the role of senior coach.
“I will provide contemporary knowledge and information to the club which will complement the group of coaching and experienced leadership already in place.”
