Six weeks on from Will Pucovski’s concussion, the Victorian cricket player is still suffering symptoms and has not been medically assessed

Will Pucovski is yet to fully shake off the symptoms of his latest concussion, delaying the meeting of a medical panel to help decide on his future in the game.

Cricket Victoria was this week given special dispensation by Cricket Australia to hold off on a decision on whether to offer Pucovski, one of the brightest batting prospects in the country, a contract for next summer, with all state squads meant to be finalised by the end of next week.

Pucovski, 26, is still reporting some effects from the blow to the helmet he suffered in a Sheffield Shield game against Tasmania in early March, although in the past week, there have been signs of improvement.

This has meant that, according to two industry sources with knowledge of the situation who could not comment publicly because the discussions are private, a medical panel comprised of Cricket Victoria, Cricket Australia and independent experts is yet to convene with Pucovski to assess his situation and map a path forward. CV declined to comment.
