After playing a lot of cricket with the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League (BBL) in recent months, Adam Zampa is eager to take a break.
Last month, Australia achieved a record-tying sixth ODI World Cup championship thanks in large part to the heroic leg-spinner. At an average of 22.39, he took 23 wickets from 11 games, finishing as the second-highest wicket-taker. During his visit to South Africa prior to the World Cup, Zampa participated in two ODIs and one T20I. After the major tournament, he played for Australia in the five-match Twenty20 International series against India. But when the second game was over, he went back home.
Adam Zampa played in the BBL match between the Sydney Sixers and Renegades on Friday, December 8. The seasoned player ended with remarkable numbers of 2/24 in his four overs, dismissing Steve Smith and Tom Curran off successive deliveries. Zampa is anticipated to play in the Renegades’ matchup with the Perth Scorchers, the reigning champions, on Sunday. Zampa and company get 11 days off after this game. After spending a significant amount of time on the road, the Shellharbour native hopes to use that time to rest and allow his body to heal.
“Though not in the best of circumstances, the body is feeling lot better than it did at the beginning of the World Cup. It’s been a hectic few months, so there are times now to try and get away from it, get the body well, and just go away from cricket. In two days, we have a game and a brief break. It’s certainly taken a toll,” Zampa told reporters, according to an ESPNcricinfo transcript.
Most mornings, I still pinch myself when I wake up. Adam Zampa
Adam Zampa stated that the World Cup victory has not yet truly hit home for him. The little spinner claimed he never thought he would be playing for the “Men in Yellow” for as long as he has.
“Even after a week at home, I still pinch myself when I wake up most mornings. For me, it’s hard to comprehend that this is my professional stage. It always seemed like I was fighting to be on the Australian squad. I never would have guessed that I would play as much for Australia as I have. You are appreciative of being present for the majority of it and don’t really think about winning World Cups until the last few years, when it becomes your only goal. It means a lot to me to be here, Adam Zampa said, having won both the one-day World Cup and the T20 World Cup two years ago.
Australia’s 96 ODI and 74 T20I player, Adam Zampa, stated that his motivation has come from the opportunity to compete in and win future World Cups. “More international competitions. There’s no finer sensation,” he said.
