T20 World Cup: Australia spinner Adam Zampa has signed for Surrey to play four T20 Blast games. He will arrive ahead of Surrey’s double-header fixture against Essex at The Oval on July 6. The 33-year-old is the highest wicket-taker for Australia in T20 cricket with 117 wickets. He was the first Australian to pass 100 T20I scalps and was part of the teams that won the T20 World Cup in 2021 and the 50-over World Cup in 2023.
The leg-spinner has over 350 T20 wickets in a career that has taken him around the world to all the biggest franchise leagues, including the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Big Bash, and The Hundred – where he helped the Oval Invincibles to back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024.
Sam Curran’s Surrey have been in excellent form in the competition, winning a last-ball thriller against Kent with Chris Jordan striking the final delivery for four to secure victory. This was followed by comprehensive victories at home against Sussex and Middlesex, the latter in front of a sell-out crowd.
