Surrey’s latest signing Adam Zampa, the highly-rated Australian spinner and one of the stars of this year’s World Cup. His smarts and creativity on the field will help those around him on the team. Zampa, 33, is poised to be the huge game-changer. Surrey are eager not to be the tournament’s most high-profile casualty and book their place in the knockout phase. The club now finds itself second in the South group, four points behind leaders Somerset.
Zampa, meanwhile, arrives with an outstanding international pedigree to his name, with 206 white-ball international caps under his belt. He’s taken 187 wickets in only 11 ODIs. Furthermore, he is the T20 internationals all-time leading wicket-taker from Australia with a shining 117 wickets. He led the Oval Invincibles to victory in the last two editions of The Hundred. Last year, he played for Welsh Fire in the competition.
Zampa had previous experience of county cricket, playing for Essex in 2018 and 2019. His most invaluable experience would come on the English cricketing landscape. This time, he will don the Surrey colors. The legendary Kia Oval, known for its electric company and fervent cricket supporters, would be the setting for his act.
Zampa is available for more than just those first four games. If Surrey makes it through to the latter stages of the tournament, he will be available for the quarter-final stage and Finals Day. His excitement about joining Surrey is palpable.
“I can’t wait to get going for Surrey and to play in front of the Kia Oval crowd once again,” – Adam Zampa
Zampa understands the importance of playing for Surrey, and values the legacy that comes with the storied club.
“It’s one of the great grounds in the world to play the game and I know how much playing for Surrey means to the lads so I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s all about,” – Adam Zampa
As he prepares to step onto the field, Zampa’s arrival is anticipated to bolster Surrey’s chances in the T20 Blast. His deep skill set and experience in this area could not be more vital. They will lead the team in a quest for victory in an intense, competitive format.
