Australian batsman Will Pukowski, who was destroyed by a career -related struggles after a career, confirmed his retirement from cricket on Tuesday, admitting that he still suffers from “scary” symptoms.
The Victorian opener last played at the Sheffield Shield in March 2024, and was forced to hurt after a blow on the helmet from the Seemar Relay Meredith.
Pukowski said that his official announcement follows the recommendation of a medical panel for his retirement. In coaching, 27 -year -old head, Victorian Premier Side Melbourne announced him as his male head coach. Pukowski has also taken a commentary role with the channel Seven.
Pukovsky told Sen on Tuesday, “I am not going to play cricket again.”
“It has been a really difficult year, as much as possible as possible. The simple message is, I will not play again at any level.
“A few months later, in the post that (final convention) I was struggling to do anything, walking around the house was a struggle. My fiancés were angry because I did not contribute to working. I was sleeping a lot.
“From there it has been a difficult year, a lot of symptoms have not gone away, which inspired me to decide. The first few months were frightening, but things did not leave me.”

Considering a large -scale possibility for Australia in this decade, Pukowski scored 62 runs on his Test debut against India in 2021, which was dropped out of the same match with a shoulder injury.
Pukowski concluded his first -class career with 2,350 runs out of 36 matches, with 51.40 of his Sheffield Shield average only two batsmen, who have scored at least 1000 runs since their debut in 2017.
In his frightening game, Pukovski broke 131 against a quality New South Wales in February 2024, shown to Nathan Leone and internationally capted bowlers Jackson Bird and Chris Tremen.
“After that century in Sydney, I thought things from a personal perspective started clicking for me,” Pukovski said.

“I kept a mountain of attempt to get the right things from the field to be good on the field.
“It was always my dream to play for Australia, I found myself in that position in 2021. My ambition did not stop there. I wanted to be the man who was a leader of the batting unit. I wanted to play 100 Tests.
“Unfortunately, a test is where it ends.”
