Australian leg spinner Adam Zampa is feeling confident about his skills ahead of limited over series against England. He said that he has worked hard on his skills and technical aspects which will help him as a bowler ahead of their encounter against host who are equally dominant in their home conditions.
Australia will be playing three ODI and as many T20 matches in Southampton and Old Trafford from September 4th to September 16th 2020 respectively.
“I’ve come with experience, bit more confident in my action and technical things I’ve been working on. The amount we were playing helped as well. Coming off a break has been interesting, doing a pre-season which a lot of us haven’t had the opportunity to do in a long while,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Zampa as saying.
Australia will start their campaign from T20 series against England as they won last 9 T20 matches out of 11 matches until cricket stopped in March 2020 due to COVID-19. He also talked about the amazing delivery he bowled to New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson in detail.
“[The ball to Kane] is something I’d love to repeat. It feels like such a long time ago. It was an important ball for me. I’d had a strong series in South Africa where I played a different role…so to bowl that ball to Kane was a real confidence-booster. It was one of the better ones,” the spinner said.
Australia was all set to host T20 World Cup this year but it has been rescheduled to 2022 due to rise in COVID-19 cases in Australia and with India hosting the next T20 world Cup in 2021 although Zampa was optimistic about his team performance in next year mega event as he highlighted that as a professional cricketer its all about how quickly you adapt the conditions.
“The momentum that we had is that something we can fight to gain back in England. Adaptability is really important, especially where you are playing. We’ve had a lot of experience in India recently, been there two or three times in the last couple of years. I think it changes [planning] a little but thinking about conditions here in England is probably more important than worrying about the T20 World Cup in a year’s time,” Zampa said
