Will Pucovski, the Australian Test cricketer, has reportedly been “forced to retire” from the sport after a recommendation from a panel of medical experts. The 26-year-old has suffered a lot of head injuries during his young career, and a concussion in March of 2024 proving to be one too many for his playing days in cricket.

Notably, a medical panel in 2022 discovered that the head injuries suffered by Will Pucovski were more likely related to stress or trauma responses and “not true concussions.” As per the report from Tim Morris of Nine News, the Victorian cricketer will retire from cricket early due to medical reasons, as recommended by the new medical panel.

The journalist said on Nine News, “My understanding is that an independent panel of experts recommended Pucovski retire three months ago, and all that’s left is for Cricket Victoria and his team to formalise that contractually. The news doesn’t come as a surprise to teammates of Pucovski who haven’t seen him at training all pre-season, in fact he’s been travelling overseas.”
