Adam Zampa — Australia’s Leading White-Ball Leg-Spinner
Adam Zampa has developed into
Australia’s leading white-ball spinner, and only behind Shane Warne in the limited-overs formats. An energetic and competitive leg-spinner, Zampa emerged in Australia’s limited-overs squads in 2016. With
196 ODI wickets at 28.59 and
147 T20I wickets at 20.63, he ranks among Australia’s all-time greats. He was a
key figure in Australia’s T20 World Cup triumph in 2021, finishing second on the wickets chart with 13 wickets at an economy of 5.81. He was then
Australia’s leading wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup, helping Australia surge to the title. His subtle changes of pace, wrong’un, and clinical control make him a nightmare for batters worldwide. 👉 Check
