India vs Australia 4th Test 2021: Details about Will Pucovski shoulder injury

According to the latest report by cricket.com.au Pucovski suffered a "shoulder subluxation" which happens when the ball of the upper arm bone partly comes out of the socket in the shoulder. A Cricket Australia spokesperson has said that the 22-year-old will continue rest and rehabilitation over the next two days before a decision is made on his fitness for the fourth and final Test at Brisbane.

Pucovski made an excellent start to his international Test career scoring 62 in the first innings, but in second innings he could only score 10 runs. If the opener does not get fit on time for India vs Australia 4th Test 2021, then Marcus Harris could be recalled into the side. There are also chances that Matthew Wade could also be asked to open the innings as he did in the first two Test matches.
