Puckovski was struck on the head during a training session last Tuesday, leading to the 10th concussion of his nascent career. 바카라It바카라s not ideal, no doubt,바카라 Paine told 바카라SEN Radio바카라.

바카라Shattering when I found out. I've spoken to him a bit the last few days, he's improving slowly, I don바카라t think it's as bad as some of the others he바카라s had before.

바카라But obviously with his history, we have to be very careful with anything around the brain. I was devastated to hear that's it happened to him,바카라 he added. The 23-year-old is considered a once-in-a-generation batting talent, averaging 53.51 in first-class cricket with six centuries, including a high score of 255 not out.

Paine said the talented right-hander was 바카라still hoping to be ready at some stage during the summer, so he's got plenty of support around him and we know how good he is.바카라 The skipper asserted that 바카라there's no need to rush him at the moment바카라.

바카라He바카라s still 22-23 years of age, so he바카라s got a long time in the game if we get it right,바카라 he added. Pucovski had scored 62 on Test debut against India in January but hasn바카라t played since then due to a shoulder injury.

It is unclear if the Victorian will be available for the first Ashes Test, starting December 8 with the skipper saying he would have opened the innings. 바카라It's a blow, no doubt. In my opinion, he would바카라ve partnered David Warner in that first Test match, there바카라s no doubt about that.바카라

Marcus Harris has now emerged as a frontrunner to open the innings alongside Warner.

바카라But Marcus Harris is probably the guy waiting for the opportunity and he바카라s just come back from a superb six months over in England playing for Leicestershire in county cricket and we know his first-class record has been outstanding for Victoria for a long time.
