About
With his boyish charm and a bowling action reminiscent of Shane Warne, Adam Zampa burst onto the scene during Australia’s victorious 2010 U-19 World Cup campaign, catching the eye with his classic leg-spin technique and flighted deliveries. Tossing the ball above the eyeline and relying on deception in the air, Zampa quickly developed into a modern-day white-ball specialist.
Zampa made his first-class debut for New South Wales in the 2012/13 Sheffield Shield but moved to South Australia soon after in search of greater opportunities. Under the mentorship of Johan Botha, he honed his craft and began making waves in the limited-overs formats, including a hat-trick in the Matador One-Day Cup that put him firmly in the national spotlight.
Zampa’s T20 prowess came to the fore with the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, where he maintained an impressive economy rate of 7.19 over several seasons. His control and consistency earned him a call-up to Australia’s ODI and T20I squads, and he went on to be their most successful bowler during the 2016 T20 World Cup in India, finishing as Australia’s top wicket-taker.
