Adam Zampa counts on Caribbean experience for improvement

Leg-spinner may be only an infant in terms of his career at the moment. However, his performances in the past few months have seen him become an important member of the Australian unit. The 23-year old leggie also impressed one and all with some impressive bowling in the recently concluded IPL including figures of 6/19 in a losing cause.

Adam Zampa also has starred in the Tri-Series 2016 thus far with an impressive performance in the win against the West Indies at Guyana. He impressed with figures of 3 for 16 and also claimed a wicket in the team’s subsequent loss to South Africa.

In spite of all this, the 23-year old has been unable to crack into the side that will be touring Sri Lanka shortly after the conclusion of the Tri-Series. However, Adam Zampa has stated that he was indeed keen on improving. “In terms of making it to the next level in that format, I want to keep improving my bowling,” Zampa told cricket.com.au on Friday (June 10). “I think if I look at myself 12 months ago, 18 months ago, or 24 months ago, I think I’m ten times a better bowler than I was then.

“Obviously, I need to work out the conditions, bowling in Australia compared to bowling in places like here (West Indies) or India,” he added. “I think the more I can experience that the better I’ll be anyway.”

“If I keep improving the way I think I’ve been improving, it’s definitely something that I think is on the cards,” Zampa said. “Nathan (Lyon) is doing a great job at the moment and I’m very happy where I am playing Twenty20 cricket and one-day cricket. I just want to keep improving and hopefully, if that opportunity does arrive, I’ll definitely be ready for it.”

Speaking about his participation in the upcoming Caribbean Premier League for the Guyana Amazon  Warriors, “I think the CPL is really improving as a competition, they’re some pretty good international stars,” he said. “To have the opportunity to play through the winter, not that it’s a bad thing (to have a break), but I’m not the kind of guy who likes to be stuck indoors or running around a park.”
