Clayton MurzelloSo William Pucovski has joined a list of Australian cricketers who ended up playing only one Test for their country. The 27-year-old Victorian announced his decision to put a full stop to his playing career due to his concussion issues, during an interaction with Sen Radio in Melbourne earlier this week.

There are 11 Australians including Pucovski, whose solitary Test experience came against India (in the third match of the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy). Pace bowler Len Johnson was the first—in the fifth Test of the 1947-48 series vs India at Melbourne. Johnson, picked for his country after one season of domestic cricket, was among three Test debutants with Sam Loxton and Doug Ring. Despite getting six wickets in the game, the Queenslander was not on the ship to England like his fellow rookies, who became part of Don Bradman’s Invincibles in 1948.
