Australian batter Will Pucovski suffered a nasty blow on his head and had to be substituted while playing for Victoria in a Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania on Sunday. The No. 3 batter retired hurt for 0 after being hit on his helmet from a Riley Meredith bouncer. It was just the second delivery he faced in Victoria's chase of 442 in the second innings. The 26-year-old, who has experienced several blows to the head with the most recent being in a second XI match in January, was struck on the left side of his helmet after he turned his head to a rising delivery from Meredith.
Star New Zealand batter Kane Williamson and his wife have been blessed with a baby girl, announced the former Kiwi skipper on Tuesday. Williamson took to Instagram to share the news with everyone. "And then there was 3 Welcome to the world beautiful Girl. So grateful for your safe arrival and the exciting journey ahead," said the caption of Kane's post. Kane missed the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia this month as he was on a paternity leave. Australia won the series 3-0. However, he will be playing the Test series starting from February 29. The star batter last appeared in the Kiwis' two-Test series against South Africa earlier in February. Kiwis won the series 2-0 and Kane was the star, scoring 403 runs in four innings, including three centuries.
With Virat Kohli skipping the ongoing Test series against England citing personal reasons, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Monday wondered if the star batter would play in the upcoming Indian Premier League.

Initially named in the Indian Test squad, the RCB talisman pulled out before the opening game in Hyderabad. Earlier this month, the cricketer along with his wife Anushka Sharma announced the birth of their second child.
