Adam Zampa is one of the top go-to cricketers for Australia when it comes to spin bowling, especially in high-stakes games. Born on March 31, 1992, in Shellharbour, New South Wales, he did not begin his career as a spin bowler, though. Instead, he started as a medium pacer but became a leg-spinner after being inspired by the legendary Shane Warne—a switch that turned out to be a game-changer for him.
He first drew attention by helping Australia’s Under-19 team win the World Cup in 2010. From there, he just kept on getting better, learning the ways in South Australia with players of experience like Johan Botha. Since his international debut in 2016, Zampa has become indispensable for Australia, his head is cool, and he never misses picking wickets at crucial times. He was the second-highest highest-wicket-taker in the recently concluded 2023 ODI World Cup and played a huge role in Australia’s winning.
As of November 2024, Adam Zampa is 32 years and 7 months old, his estimated net worth is $3.5 million, and he stands at a height of 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm or 1.73 m) tall.
