Will Pucovski (born 2 February 1998) is an Australian cricketer.[1] He made his List A debut for Cricket Australia XI against the Pakistanis during their tour of Australia on 10 January 2017.[2] He made his first-class debut for Victoria in the 2016–17 Sheffield Shield season on 1 February 2017.[3]
In March 2018, he suffered a second concussion from bouncers in two years, the second of which was bowled by Sean Abbott. Pucovski was well enough to walk off the field unaided.[4] In October 2018, he became only the second player representing Victoria in the Sheffield Shield, after Dean Jones, to hit a double century against the Western Australia cricket team at the WACA.[5] However, later the same month, he took an indefinite break from cricket, due to a mental health-related illness.[6] In January 2019, he was named in Australia's Test squad for the series against Sri Lanka.[7]
