Former Australian Australian prodigy Will Pucovski officially retired from cricket at only 27 years old, admitting that he is still suffering from “frightening” symptoms of repeated concussion.
The Victorian played Sheffield Shield for the last time in March 2024, when he was struck on the helmet by delivery of Tasmania Speedster Riley Meredith.
It was the 13th Concrete Concrete known to his sports career.
Pucovski’s official announcement comes after a medical panel recommended his retirement to him, but he chose not to call him.
The 27 -year -old said that his life had changed when he was in charge of the concussion symptoms.
Pucovski’s current problems include regular headaches, fatigue, transport evil, vertigo spells and difficulties with “things on my left side”.

The promising career of the 27 -year -old was ruined by a series of concussion (Pucovski is represented after being struck by a ball in March 2023)
“I’m not going to play cricket anymore,” Pucovski told Sen.
“In the past few months, after (last cerebral concussion), I had trouble doing anything, walking in the house was a fight.
“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 played his only test in January 2021 against India at SCG, marking 62 in the first round.

It ends with an average of first class of 45.19 which includes seven centuries and a highest score of 255 not released.
This was his talent, Pucovski was considered by many experts capable of playing in the long term for Australia.
Only two months before his test beginnings, he became the first player this century to mark two double consecutive centuries in the Sheffield Shield.
Pucovski, who will marry her long-term partner Emma this weekend, had time to reconcile with the decision.
He has already had several long spells in the game, but the last concussion he suffered over a year ago meant that his retirement became a simple formality.
“Technology is not quite there to understand what is,” said Pucovski.
“When you have been preparing symptoms for over a year – and I have had others for many years – it can be quite difficult to see how I get out to play professional sport again when I find it hard to live my life as I want.
“The difficult point to go, to a certain extent is that I know what I was before undergoing these concussions, and I know what I am now.
“My family has also noticed a little difference in me, and my friends, and this part is quite frightening, and it is also frightening for them too.”
Pucovski, who impressed as a commentator of the Seven Network, will train the Melbourne Cricket Club.
He said that if he had children, he would be gladly involved if they chose to play cricket.
