MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Will Pucovski's struggles with concussion are frustrating for the young opener but Australia's selectors should be patient with him, former test wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist said.

Pucovski suffered the 10th concussion of his career after being hit by a ball at training a month ago and is still dealing with symptoms. The 23-year-old has been all but ruled out of the first Ashes test in Brisbane from Dec. 8.
