Adam Zampa reckons the future is bright for the wrist spinners

Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa feels that the modern day cricket is set to see a lot of success for the wrist spinners. Over the last couple of years, a lot of focus has shifted on the wrist spinners, particularly in the limited overs format. The recent success of Indian wrist spinners – Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal – on the South African soil can be taken as a prime example of the same.

Also, in the Trans-Tasman T20I tri-series, team Australia registered a comfortable 5-wicket win over England recently. In that match, too, the spinners accounted for 5 wickets. Adam Zampa was one of the two beneficiaries. Zampa noted that the wrist spin is definitely the way forward in the limited overs cricket.

“A lot of countries around the world are opting for two wrist-spinners, let alone no wrist-spinners. It’s just the grounds and the situations we’ve got ourselves in probably that make it a little bit different in Australia. I think wrist spin is definitely the way forward in particular and even two or three spinners in a team,” Adam Zampa quoted.

“We saw the other night that it was the two spinners that changed the game for us so I think definitely having a wrist-spinner that can spin it both ways is always good to have in your team.I would like to think it’s a better team with me in it,” he added.

On his personal performances

Commenting on his personal performances, Adam Zampa cited that he has been putting in a lot of efforts in the shortest format of the game. He remarked that he was unhappy to have missed out on the first match of the ongoing series. But now, he is happy to be back in the scheme of things.

“The last couple of years I’ve hardly put a foot wrong in Twenty20 internationals. I was definitely disappointed not to play but the squad mentality thing is pretty important. Coming up to the MCG where I do play my Big Bash, hopefully I’ll come into consideration,” he conceded.
