Adam Zampa: News

With boyish looks and bowling action comparable to the legendary Shane Warne, Australian cricketer Adam Zampa drew attention from a very young age. Zampa first made headlines when he played an important role in Australia's 2010 U-19 World Cup success. In the 2012-13 Sheffield Shield, he made his first-class debut. His hat-trick in the Matador BBQ One-Day Cup made him the target of T20 franchises across the world. Zampa made his ODI debut in 2016 against New Zealand. In the same year, he made his international T20 debut against South Africa. Zampa is known for his economic rate, especially in the shortest format of the game. In the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, despite Australia's poor performance, Zampa stood out with his bowling. A regular figure in major T20 leagues around the world, Zampa plays for Melbourne Stars in BBL and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. A wrist spinner by trade, Zampa's lackluster performances for South Australia (since the 2013-14 season) in first-class cricket has proved to be a barrier for his international Test debut.
