A panel of specialists has concluded that some previous head knock issues suffered by luckless Test batsman Will Pucovski were "not true concussions".
Rather they believed they were a form of either post-traumatic migraine or stress-related response.
Pucovski has been cleared to make his latest Sheffield Shield comeback for Victoria when the ladder leaders travel to Perth next week seeking final hosting rights when they play Western Australia in the final round.
If selected it will mark a return to first-class cricket for the batsman who has played club cricket and for Victoria's second XI since his latest incident during a pre-match warm up in Adelaide.
Cricket Victoria on Saturday revealed the outcome after it combined with Cricket Australia's medical staff to commission a panel of specialists to review Pucovski's case, including independent neurologists with expertise in management of concussion in sport.
Pucovski has been widely reported to have suffered 11 concussions over the years, prompting speculation about his future in the sport.
"The panel's overwhelming conclusion was that some of the previous injuries sustained had involved low trauma force and therefore were most likely not true concussion, but a form of either post-traumatic migraine or stress-related response," Cricket Victoria said.
Cricket Victoria's Dr Trefor James said: "Will has made positive steps in his recovery from the injury in Adelaide.
"Given that he has made a full and relatively quick recovery and following the experts' diagnostic formulation, the panel was happy to support Will in his desire to continue playing.
"Concussion management is, by its nature, incredibly complex and I'd like to thank those on the panel who have provided their support and expertise to allow us to proactively support Will in managing his health and wellbeing."
Pucovski said he was continuing to prioritise his mental health and wellbeing.
"I'm really looking forward to finishing the season back in the squad," the 24-year-old said in the CV statement.
"It was so worthwhile to meet with the panel and hear their views on my circumstances. Managing my health - physically and mentally - is something I have to live with moving forward and I'm really grateful for everyone's support at Cricket Victoria."
