But for your information, let us tell you that due to his busy white ball cricket schedule, Adam has been able to play only 2 first class matches since 2019.

Adam Zampa gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, on the Final Word podcast, Adam Zampa, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo, said about playing red ball cricket – I think, realistically, I still have a chance to play Test cricket. The way I am bowling, the bowler I am, if I was playing a lot of Sheffield Shield cricket at the moment, I would think I would be fine, I would be doing really well. The few matches I have played in the last few years are indicative of that. Adam further said- If I am selected for the upcoming subcontinent tours for Australia, people will say well that he has an average of 46 with the ball. But the way I am bowling, I think I can be selected. It will be fine. On the other hand, if we give you information about the first class cricket career of 32-year-old Jampa, he has been able to play only 40 first class matches during his career, in which he has taken a total of 111 wickets at an average of 46.98 and an economy of 3.90.

Adam Jampa told on the Final Word podcast, ‘I think I can still play Test cricket. I think if I was playing Sheffield cricket matches regularly and the way I bowl and the type of bowler I am, I would have performed very well. The matches I have played in the last few years are the biggest example of this.’ Adam Zampa made a big statement regarding the upcoming subcontinent tour Adam Jampa further said, ‘If I am selected in the upcoming subcontinent tour, people will say that his bowling average is 46, which is not correct.
