Will Pucovski’s cricket career is now officially over after he announced his retirement this week. 

Pucovski was considered the best batting talent of his generation, but there’s a financial fallout that remains unresolved as he explores legal action over compensation from the game. 

Courier Mail sports guru, Robert ‘Crash’ Craddock, told Bill McDonald, " He was concussed badly as a footballer in his teenage years.

"And the feeling was that may have triggered something that resulted in more concussions.

"There's the psychosomatic part of it where as soon as he got a graze to the head or anything remotely connected with a severe blow, the memories flooded back and the trauma flooded in."
