Adam Zampa Withdraws from IPL 2024 to Focus on T20 World Cup

Star Australian wrist-spinner Adam Zampa has revealed that withdrawing from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 was the best decision for him ahead of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. In Match 17 on Saturday, June 8, at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, Zampa delivered a brilliant spell, taking 2/28 in four overs against England. This performance helped Australia secure a 36-run victory, marking their second consecutive win in the tournament.

Zampa Prioritizes Health and Family

During the post-match press conference, Zampa explained his decision to pull out of the IPL. “Yeah, obviously made that decision a little while ago to pull out of the IPL and I thought it was the best thing for me moving forward into this World Cup. I was tired, I had some niggles and I’m a family man as well, so trying to put them first over work sometimes is pretty important,” said the 32-year-old spinner.

Extra Preparation for the World Cup

Zampa acknowledged that he needed to put in extra effort to prepare for the World Cup. “So, yeah, I actually am a bit of a slow starter and I put in a little bit of extra work. My body feels great and just did that bit of extra work. Maybe a bit more bowling than I usually would before a tournament like this. And then the practice games and everything just feels nice at the moment. And yeah, I think it’s, I am a little bit of a slow starter, but this feels like a rare occasion where I’ve started how I want to,” he added.

Crucial Wickets Against England

In the Australia vs England match, Australia set a formidable total of 201/7 in their 20 overs, with significant contributions from David Warner (39 off 16), Mitchell Marsh (35 off 25), and Travis Head (34 off 18). England’s openers, Jos Buttler (42 off 28) and Philip Salt (37 off 23), gave their team a strong start, adding 73 runs for the first wicket in just 43 balls.

However, Zampa turned the game in Australia’s favor by dismissing both openers. England struggled to recover and managed only 165/6 in their 20 overs. England will face Oman on June 13, while Australia will play against Namibia on June 12.(Dubai7 realmoneygame)
