Adam Zampa

Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa has acknowledged that when he was dropped from the ODI squad during the India tour, it acted as a wake-up call for him. He had a forgettable tour to India as he could pick up only four scalps in a couple of games and conceded runs at nearly seven per over.

Speaking to cricket.com.au, Zampa said, “It was definitely a wake-up call. I’m really keen to get out there and show that I’ve been working on a few things. My variations and things like that, I feel like they’re coming out well. I really want to cement my spot in this squad. I feel like I’m on edge a little bit at the moment and I think that’s probably a good thing.”

He further added, “I think I perform at my best when there are guys trailing me, like Ash, who’s bowling really well with the white ball. I think if anything, that’ll really help me.”

Zampa concluded by stating that now he has the capability of taking wickets in all the conditions, he said, “I’ve played a lot of Big Bash (games) on pretty flat surfaces, like the MCG and Adelaide Oval when I was at the Strikers. So I do back myself in any conditions. But the feedback is, and I’m used to it now, that if conditions suit I’ll play and if not then I won’t.”
