Victoria has activated a substitute in its Toyota 2nd XI match against South Australia at Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide.
Dylan Brasher replaces Will Pucovski for the rest of the game as Pucovski prepares for Victoria’s first Sheffield Shield game of the new year, starting on February 3rd.
Pucovski retired hurt on Monday on 42 before returning to the crease where he scored further 47 runs.
Head of Male Cricket, David Hussey, said:
“We were pleased with how Will performed in his knock of 89 and he did everything asked of him at the crease.”
“After conversations with our medical staff and with Will’s history in mind, we have decided it would be sensible to substitute him out of this game to allow him time to prepare for our upcoming Shield game against South Australia which starts in 10 days.”
“Footscray’s Dylan Brasher will join the team this afternoon”.
