Australia has been blessed with two world-class spinners within their ranks - Test specialist Nathan Lyon and white-ball star Adam Zampa. 

Zampa, over the years, has developed into an attacking bowling option in limited-overs cricket, who played a crucial role in Australia winning its maiden T20 World Cup in 2021 in UAE. The leg-spinner will again be a vital cog in the Australian attack for the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023, which will take place in India between October and November. 

Speaking to the ICC Website, the 31-year-old expressed a desire to complete a World Cup double and get over the disappointment of CWC 2019.  

Australia's 2019 ended in the semi-finals as eventual winner England knocked them out of the competition. 


'You don’t get the chance to win World Cups very often'- Adam Zampa

"Winning that T20 World Cup was one of the best feelings I have had on the cricket field and winning the 50-over World Cup would be a pretty similar feeling I would assume. You don’t get the chance to win World Cups very often," Zampa said. 

"We are still thinking about that World Cup we won a couple of years ago (2021) and are trying to recreate that feeling. We were disappointed with our 2019 World Cup and how that finished and we still have that burning desire to win a one-day World Cup," he added. 

Zampa is expected to take the field for Australia in ODIs against South Africa starting September 7. Australia will play a three-match ODI series against hosts India before the World Cup 2023. Cricket Australia have named a three-man spin attack in Zampa, Ashton Agar and Tanveer Sangha in Australia's 18-member preliminary WC squad.
