For the first time ever, the prodigious Victorian batsman, Will Pucovski, signed a professional T20 deal to join the Melbourne Stars in the upcoming Big Bash League. Over the past few seasons, the 22-year-old has purposely remained away from the T20 format in an effort to concentrate on his red ball skills and further his test range. His problems with mental health concerns have also made a decision that he has not yet signed a BBL deal.
