Will Pucovski eager to make cricket comeback from yet another concussion despite calls for retirement

Will Pucovski intends to make a comeback from his latest worrying bout of concussion despite calls for the talented batter to retire, Cricket Victoria general manager Shaun Graf says.

Pucovski was substituted out of Victoria's Sheffield Shield game on Saturday after a volleyball hit him on the head during the warm-up.

«He's realistic about it, but he's still very much in the corner that he wants to keep playing and we'll support that.

»Very disappointing, disappointing for him but also disappointing for the
