Father: Darren Zampa, Wife: Harriet Palmer, Son: Eugene
Adam Zampa has established himself as Australia’s premier white-ball spinner, sitting behind only Shane Warne in the limited-overs wicket-taking charts for his country. The 34-year-old leg-spinner from Shellharbour, New South Wales, emerged in 2016 after a successful summer for South Australia and the Melbourne Stars, and has since become a vital cog in Australia’s limited-overs setup. His subtle changes of pace, variations including a dangerous googly, and clinical control make him a handful for batters across formats. Zampa played a key role in Australia’s T20 World Cup triumph in 2021, finishing second on the wickets chart with 13 dismissals, and was their leading wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup as Australia surged to the title. In the IPL, he has represented multiple franchises, with his most memorable performance being a stunning 6 for 19 for Rising Pune Supergiant against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016—one of only three six-wicket hauls in IPL history. After a brief hiatus, Zampa returned to the IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025, adding another chapter to his storied white-ball career.
