In the pantheon of Australian cricketers, the leg-spinner who plays for the Oval Invincibles is positively exotic
“I’ll always be honest about how I feel about certain competitions and I’m being 100% honest with you, I love this competition. I genuinely enjoy it. The Oval Invincibles – it’s a super privilege to play here.”
Adam Zampa does things his own way. As in a coffee bean-bothering, single malt swirling vegan who fills his few hours off the pitch as a globally in demand cricketer by appearing in adverts for Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) or yomping up the Himalayas. “I wore a few robes, found myself up there in the hills,” the 32-year-old memorably said of his downtime during last year’s 50-over World Cup in India.
