Will Pucovski suffers another concussion in Victorian Sheffield Shield match against South Australia

Will Pucovski has suffered another concussion, forcing the prodigious batting talent to be substituted in Victoria's Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at Adelaide Oval.

Pucovski left the field on Saturday morning during South Australia's second innings.

He was making his first-class comeback after being on the sidelines for much of the domestic season because of concussion.

«Victoria has activated the concussion substitute against South Australia at Adelaide Oval. Will Pucovski will be replaced in the XI by Travis Dean,» a Victorian team statement read.

«Pucovski reported concussion symptoms to medical staff while fielding this morning.

»He is being monitored by our medical staff."

It is believed to be Pucovski's 11th concussion of his career.

Prior to the Sheffield Shield match in Adelaide, his most recent bout was in October, which ruled him out contention for the men's Ashes series.

Pucovski — who turned 24 earlier this month — has been restricted to one Test appearance, having made his debut against India in the third match of last summer's series.

He was expected to make his Test debut in the series opener against India, but was ruled out of the opening two matches after being concussed while playing for Australia A.

The Victorian eventually made his debut at the SCG, scoring 62 in the first innings.

But he was ruled out of the fourth and final Test at the Gabba because of a shoulder injury.

Pucovski's injury required surgery.
