“This time it feels like I’ve earned the right to be there, and I’m pretty pumped to take the challenge of playing India if I do get the chance.

Earlier, he had some mental illness due to which he had taken some time off from cricket. But, now, Pucovski feels that he has gained experience with time. Also, he knows how to maintain a balance between professional as well as personal life.
“I was 20 a couple of years ago and I’m 22 now. I’ve played 15 or 20 more first-class games and I’ve put a stack of work in off-field to make sure my life and cricket is in a really good place,” he added.
