Zampa Ready for ODI Century, Ashes Past
Australia's leg-spinner Adam Zampa is aiming for his first ODI century, putting the Ashes behind him as he prepares for the upcoming series against India.
The 31-year-old leg-spinner has been a key figure in Australia's ODI success, taking 180 wickets in 104 matches. However, his batting prowess has been overshadowed by his bowling skills.
Zampa, known for his cheeky demeanor and ability to deceive batsmen with his deliveries, has been working on his batting and is hoping to achieve a personal milestone in the upcoming series.
"I've been working hard on my batting and I'm feeling really confident," said Zampa. "I'm not going to lie, I'd love to get my first ODI century. It's a big goal for me."
Zampa's focus is now entirely on the ODI series against India, dismissing the Ashes as a mere chapter in the past. Despite Australia's 2-0 series loss to England, Zampa insists he has put those struggles behind him.
"The Ashes is done and dusted," he said. "I'm looking forward to the ODI series against India. It's going to be a tough challenge, but I'm up for it."
The leg-spinner believes the team's ODI experience will be a significant advantage against the formidable Indian side.
"We have a lot of experience in ODI cricket," Zampa said. "We know how to play against India, and we're confident we can get the job done."
Zampa's confidence stems from Australia's recent success in ODIs, including a 3-0 clean sweep over England earlier this year.
"We're playing some great cricket at the moment," he said. "We're a strong team, and we're going to be a tough opponent for India."
The series against India promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both sides boasting talented and experienced squads. Zampa's desire to achieve his century goal adds another layer of intrigue to the series, highlighting the competitive spirit within the Australian camp.
