IND vs AUS: The upcoming Test series between India and Australia is trending everywhere. Both the teams have named their squads for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and have been preparing at the best level. Veteran Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa was ignored for the series in India but he has vowed not to give up on making his debut in the latest version of the game but would prioritise doing well in white-ball cricket and excel for Australia in the ODI World Cup in India later this year.
Zampa has not played much red-ball cricket at the domestic level too. The white-ball spinner played his first Sheffield Shield match in three years last month, collecting 3-106 for New South Wales across both Victorian innings to show selectors he was keen to play a role in the four-Test Border-Gavaskar series.
Zampa disappointed
“I’m very disappointed, I would love to have been on it,” Zampa was quoted as saying by Australian media. “I thought with the way that I’ve been going in international cricket in particular that this was going to be my opportunity.
“And that was the message I got six weeks ago as well that this was going to be a very good chance I could potentially be on it but now that I’m not, I’m very flat about it and it’s time to just move on from it. I was really excited to potentially be on this tour? and the message was that my style of bowling might have been handy over there. But I think potentially last minute that was a change of mind.,” Zampa was quoted as saying by the website cricket.com.au.
Australian selector reveals reason on Zampa’s snub
After announcing the squad, Bailey had said that Zampa’s limited first-class cricket in the past three years had worked against him.
“Zampa has displayed a real keenness to be around the Test squad and we just probably haven’t seen enough red-ball cricket from him,” Bailey said. “And to be fair to Swep (Swepson) we’ve liked what he’s given us when he’s had his opportunities and (we’ll) and continue to invest in him and see where he can get to.”
