Will Pucovski’s sparkling Test debut against India has been soured after the opener injured his shoulder in the field for Australia.
Pucovski was hurt after diving for a ball at mid-wicket during the second session of the final day at the SCG.
He stayed down for about a minute as teammates came to his aid and he clutched at his left shoulder, before leaving the field at the end of the over.
Australia have just three days between the end of the SCG Test and the start of the series finale in Brisbane.
Pucovski scored a stylish 62 in the first innings in Sydney, as the likes of Ricky Ponting claiming he could be a 10-year player at the top of the order for Australia.
Opening partner David Warner admitted on Monday he still felt nervous about his groin injury, as his return from a lengthy layoff coincided with the back-to-back Tests.
Australia’s injury concerns pale in comparison to India’s, with Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Virahi all hurt in Sydney.
