Will Pucovski, once touted as the next big thing in Australian cricket, has announced his retirement at just 27 years old. Despite playing only a single Test match for Australia, his batting prowess and composure had made him a standout talent.

After taking medical advice to retire from first-class cricket last year following a concussion, reportedly his 13th, in a Sheffield Shield match, the 27-year-old batter confirmed in a radio interview Tuesday that he can't play again at any level because of the toll on his physical and mental health.
