After wreaking havoc in the ODI World Cup 2023, Adam Zampa seeks rest.
Adam Zampa has played a lot of cricket over the past few months and is looking for some rest in between his Big Bash League fixtures for the Melbourne Renegades. He played a crucial role in Australia winning a record-equalling sixth ODI World Cup title last month. Zampa finished as the second-highest wicket-taker with 23 scalps from 11 games at an average of 22.39. Prior to the World Cup, he played one T20I and two ODIs on the tour to South Africa. He was also a part of the Australian team for the five-match T20I series against India after the marquee event. However, he returned home after playing the second game.
Zampa was in action on Friday, December 8, in the BBL clash between the Renegades and Sydney Sixers. The veteran dismissed Steve Smith and Tom Curran off consecutive deliveries and finished with impressive figures of 2/24 in his four overs. Zampa is expected to feature in the Renegades' clash on Sunday against defending champions the Perth Scorchers. After this game, Zampa and Co. have an 11-day break. The Shellharbour-born man is hoping to rest during that time to give his body a chance to recover after being on the road for a considerable period of time.
Zampa told reporters that "Body's probably not in an ideal situation but feeling much better than it was at the start of the World Cup. We've got a game in two days' time, then a little bit of a break, so there's periods now to try and get away from it, get the body good, and just get away from cricket because it's been a big few months. It's taken its toll, that's for sure.”
