New Delhi, April 8 -- Will Pucovski, a former Australian Test opener, has announced his immediate retirement from all forms of cricket. The 27-year-old Pucovski played only one Test match in his career. He cited recurring concussions as the primary reason for making the big decision.

Will Pucovski sustained a series of head injuries during his career. The most recent incident was in March 2024 during a Sheffield Shield game. In the match, a delivery struck Pucovski's helmet and he was forced to retire hurt. After that, he didn't play for the remainder of the Australian domestic season. This prompted him to withdraw from being a part of Leicestershire in the 2024 English county season.
