Australia's Leading T20 Bowler Zampa Joins Surrey for Four Blast Matches

Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa has signed with Surrey to play in four crucial fixtures of the T20 Blast starting July 6, including a double-header against Essex at the Kia Oval. Zampa, Australia's leading T20 international wicket-taker with 117 scalps and a World Cup winner in both the T20 and 50-over formats, brings extensive experience from global franchise leagues such as the IPL, Big Bash, and The Hundred, where he helped Oval Invincibles secure back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024. Surrey, currently second in the South group and led by Sam Curran, has been in strong form with recent wins over Kent, Sussex, and Middlesex, and Zampa's addition aims to bolster their title push. After the initial fixtures against Essex, Gloucestershire, Glamorgan, and Somerset, Zampa will remain available for Surrey if they reach the knockout stages, including quarter-finals and Finals Day. Surrey's High Performance Cricket Advisor Alec Stewart praised Zampa as one of the finest T20 spinners globally, highlighting his technical skills and character, while Zampa expressed excitement to play at the renowned Kia Oval in front of passionate crowds. This stint also aligns well with Zampa's international schedule, as Australia's T20I series in the Caribbean begins shortly after his expected last Blast appearance.
