T20 World Cup: Sharjah Warriorz are delighted to announce the signing of the Australian international cricketer Adam Zampa, who will replace the Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batter Kusal Mendis, for the remainder of the ILT20 season 3.
Zampa, who has had a short stint in the ILT20 in its inaugural season, has played close to 400 T20 games in his career. The Australian has an economy rate of less than eight runs per over and has bagged 117 wickets in 95 T20Is and 355 wickets in 291 T20s. He has also registered four five-wicket hauls in T20 cricket. The 32-year-old, who is inspired by the legendary Shane Warne, is also the first Australian bowler to bag 100 wickets in T20Is and is currently the most prolific bowler for his national team.
He was also a key figure in Australia's T20 World Cup triumph in 2021, finishing second on the wickets chart with 13 from 7 games at an economy of 5.81, and best figures of 5-19, which was also the best bowling performance in the overall tournament. Interestingly, the 2021 T20 World Cup was played in UAE and Oman, and Zampa’s experience from those matches will surely be beneficial for the Sharjah Warriorz at the ILT20.
