Adam Zampa believes that India tour was a wake-up call for him

Last month and a half have been nothing short of phenomenal of Australian team as they were able to get their hands on the coveted title, Ashes 2017-18. With scoreline showing 4-0 in favour of Australians, one would have to say that they had too much firepower and managed to upstage England.

However, the firepower seems to be on the lower side when they toured India, especially in the limited overs series. The 25-year-old leg break bowler admitted that the series against India was a wakeup call for him. Adam Zampa had a forgettable tour as he only managed to pick four wickets in the two games he played and conceded over 7 runs per over. However, he is not among those to back down and brood over this and has reiterated his desire to return to the fold as the number one spinner in Australia.

Wakeup call after Playing against India

Speaking to Cricket.com.au, Zampa said, “It was definitely a wake-up call. I’m really keen to get out there and show that I’ve been working on a few things. My variations and things like that, I feel like they’re coming out well. I really want to cement my spot in this team. I feel like I’m on edge a little bit at the moment and I think that’s probably a good thing.”

“I think I perform at my best when there are guys trailing me, like Ash, who’s bowling really well with the white ball. I think if anything, that’ll really help me,” he added.

Big Bash League has helped

Playing in Big Bash League has helped him to play on different surfaces against some of the greats of modern day cricket which eventually has helped him to become a better bowler. He believes his earlier seasons for Strikers helped him to play on the flat pitches where it was more difficult to stick to a line and bowl accordingly.

“I’ve played a lot of Big Bash (games) on pretty flat surfaces, like the MCG and Adelaide Oval when I was at the Strikers. So I do back myself in any conditions. But the feedback is, and I’m used to it now, that if conditions suit I’ll play and if not then I won’t,” he concluded by saying.
