We thought if it is so easy to break the bio bubble, then this season will not go on beyond this week- Adam Zampa Adam Zampa (Photo Source: Getty Images) Australian spinner Adam Zampa made his IPL debut for Rising Pune Supergiants in 2016. However, Zampa did not get much chance, and he played only five matches that season. Adam Zampa then joined Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2021, but he withdrew from the season along with his teammate Kane Richardson. Both Adam Zampa and Richardson cited the bio bubble as the reason for this. Let us tell you, during that time the whole world including India was struggling with the Corona epidemic. Recently Adam Zampa told the reason due to which he decided to withdraw his name from IPL 2021. A fan broke the bio bubble and came to ask for an autograph- Adam Zampa Adam Jampa told that during IPL 2021, a fan broke the bio bubble and reached him to get an autograph, after which Jampa and Richardson talked to the management of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Talking on The Final Word Cricket Podcast, Jampa said, One day we were sitting by the pool and a fan came asking for an autograph and the security personnel came running. We thought if it is so easy to break the bio bubble, then this season will not go on beyond this week. We told the owners what we thought. Luckily we were on a flight from Qatar to Melbourne when Australia went into lockdown and four days later the IPL was cancelled. I was very upset with the quarantine- Jampa Adam Zampa revealed that he had to suffer physically and mentally due to being quarantined during COVID-19. Through news channels, Zampa and Ken Richardson came to know about the current situation in India during the second wave, due to which they became even more worried. Looking at the IPL, which me and Kane had missed, we had done a week’s quarantine in India and put on the telly and it was the ABC channel talking about the Covid situation in India. We looked at each other and said, “What are you going to do?” He had a family and we were already in a year-long quarantine anyway so I was very tired. After being a part of Rising Pune Supergiants and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Adam Zampa joined Rajasthan Royals in 2023, he played some matches that season. However, before IPL 2024, he withdrew his name due to personal reasons. Zampa has so far taken 21 wickets in 14 IPL matches at an economy of 7.74.

I can’t believe I’ve been selected in the Australia team: Cooper Connolly

Cooper Connolly has 15 T20 matches experience in domestic cricket. CooperConnolly. (Photo by Matthew Lewis-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) Australia’s performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was very poor and the team could not make it to the semi-finals. Australia had to face defeat against Afghanistan and India in the Super 8. Now Australia has to play T20 series against England and Scotland. Cooper Connolly has been included in the Australian team for the first time for this tour. Let us tell you, in the Big Bash League 2023, this young player played an aggressive innings of 25 runs in 11 balls for the Perth Scorchers and won the hearts of all the fans. Cooper Connolly has 15 T20 experiences in domestic cricket. Recently this young player made a big revelation about his selection in the international team. According to Cooper Connolly, he himself was quite surprised when his name was taken. However, if the young player gets a chance, he would definitely want to leave his mark in it. According to cricket.com.au, Cooper Connolly said, “I was not able to sit in one place at all. I was only able to walk for 10 to 15 minutes and it was a shocking time for me. It feels very good that I performed well for Perth Scorchers and Western Australia. Because of this, my confidence also increased a lot overnight but I had never experienced such a thing in international cricket. There are some quality players like Travis Head in the team and I would like to learn a lot from them. If I get a chance, I would like to use it as much as possible.” George Bailey gives his take on Cooper Connolly George Bailey said about this young player, ‘Cooper Connolly has performed very well in the middle order for Perth. Not only this, he can also bowl spin and can bat anywhere between number four to number 7. If you look at our T20 team, Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis have performed very well at the top. Not only this, both these players have also played the role of finisher very well. I think Copper also has the same ability and the young players can perform brilliantly in the upcoming series. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Indoor test matches will now be played in Hobart, Cricket Australia wants to make major changes in the entire stadium

Australia wants to hold indoor Tests in Tasmania, so they have proposed an indoor cricket stadium in Hobart. Hobart Stadium (Pic Source-X) Australia wants to hold indoor tests in Tasmania, so they have proposed an indoor cricket stadium in Hobart. Actually, Tasmania’s football team ‘Tasmania Devils’ is entering the Australian Football League (AFL) from 2028 and for this, the Tasmanian government wants to build a 23000-seat multi-sports stadium, where football as well as cricket can be played. A transparent roof will also be installed here so that T20 matches can be played during the day and night and no player faces any kind of problem. If this happens, Hobart will be the first stadium in the world where indoor test cricket can also be played. Anne Beach, CEO of Macari Point Development Corporation, also said that their entire focus is on red ball cricket. Anne Beach, CEO of Mackie Point Development Corporation, told SEN Tassie, “We want Test cricket here and that is our entire focus. The challenge is that we have to constantly work with Cricket Australia and Cricket Tasmania based on the details and design given by the ICC. We will not get recognition until this stadium is built. We are constantly doing workshops with Cricket Australia to ensure that the stadium is being built as per the design. We have to have red ball cricket here.” The height of this stadium is a matter of concern: Alistair Richardson Alistair Richardson, CEO of Cox Architecture, said, ‘The biggest concern in the construction of a cricket stadium is the height of the stadium. This was also a concern in the construction of Melbourne’s indoor Marvel Stadium and there the ball could touch the roof. Therefore, we have resorted to Hawk-Eye and ball-tracking technology to estimate the maximum height of the ball. This is challenging as well as fun. We are happy to increase the height of the roof to 50 meters because till now there have been no examples of hitting a ball at a height of more than 50 meters.’ Former Australian player and Cricket Tasmania President David Boon said, ‘This is a great opportunity for Tasmania. We want to play cricket in this stadium. The design will also be finalized in the coming few months.’ 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
