About Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa (born 31 March 1992) is an Australian cricketer who represents South Australia, the Melbourne Stars and the national team. He is a leg spin bowler who also bats right-handed.

Youth career
As a child, Zampa bowled medium pace, but Cricket Australia had placed restrictions on how many pace bowlers were allowed to bowl in under-14 matches, so he decided to change his bowling style to leg spin, inspired by Australian Test cricketer Shane Warne. Zampa made his way into Australia's under-19 team in 2009 and has earned a rookie contract with the Blues in 2010 after playing a role by representing Australia in their successful 2010 Under-19 Cricket World Cup campaign. Zampa played in two youth Test matches and eight youth ODIs, taking 11 wickets across the two formats.
