In order to stay away from the hype and intense speculation over his selection in the playing XI for the opening Test of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, uncapped Australia batsman Will Pucovski has deactivated his social media accounts.

Pucovski, who is among the five uncapped players named in the 17-man Test squad, has made a strong case for selection in the XI with back-to-back double centuries for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield.
