Will Pucovski Looking To Play The 2nd Sheffied Shield Game For Victoria: Coach Chris Rogers

Victoria coach Chris Rogers said that Will Pucovski looks pretty good now and looking to play the second Sheffield Shield game for Victoria.

“He looks pretty good, so he’s targeting the second Shield game. He’s a pretty resilient guy now – if you go through (this) many setbacks, you have to have something about you,” coach Rogers said.

Rogers also said that if Will Pucovski managed to perform with the bat in Sheffield Sheild 2021-22 like the last season, then Australian selectors might give him a chance in forthcoming The Ashes 2021-22.

“He’s showed before that he can hit the ground running as he did last year in the two Sheffield Shield games when he got two 200s. If he was good enough to come and do something like that again, I think the Australian selectors would definitely have something to consider,” Rogers further said.
