Cricket Australia on Tuesday said it will delay making a decision on Will Pucovski’s availability for the fourth and final Test against India, giving the opener every opportunity to prove his fitness as he recovers from a partial dislocation of his shoulder.
CA confirmed that Pucovski suffered a “shoulder subluxation injury”, which is a partial dislocation of the shoulder joint, when the ball of the upper arm bone partly comes out of the socket in the shoulder.
“He will continue rest and rehabilitation over the next two days before a decision is made on his fitness for the fourth Vodafone Test match,” a CA spokesperson told cricket.Com.Au. The 22-year-old had hurt his right shoulder after diving for the ball at mid-wicket in the 86th over of India’s innings on the fifth day of the drawn Sydney Test on Monday.
