Star Australia wrist-spinner Adam Zampa has vowed to prioritise international cricket over domestic T20 leagues as he doesn\u2019t get the same buzz out of it. Notably, the Australia cricketer recently pulled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 due to personal reasons. Zampa was set to play for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing 17th<\/sup> edition of the T20 extravaganza, however, he pulled out of the competition at the very last moment due to mental fatigue.<\/p>\n The New South Wales-born cricketer had a packed schedule in 2023 ahead of the ODI World Cup where he plied his trade in Major League Cricket and The Hundred as well. During his time away from the cricket pitch, the 32-year-old had an introspection where he felt that he would rather play the game six-seven months a year than nine or ten months and spend quality time with his young family.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s always a lot of chat about \u2018can you play franchise cricket all year round\u2019 and it was something I had thought about \u2013 at what age do I get through to try to then play a bit of franchise cricket. But after 2023 and winning the World Cup<\/a><\/strong> and all that, and having a young family now as well, I\u2019ve realised I want to play cricket for as long as I can, and instead of trying to play for nine or 10 months of the year, it\u2019s played for six or seven,\u201d Zampa told the Age.<\/p>\n Further speaking ahead, Zampa revealed his delight while donning the national colours and playing under different captains. He also stated that he doesn\u2019t get the same buzz out of playing domestic leagues as being in the Australian dressing room.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve really come to love playing for Australia. I always loved it, but playing under Dan Vettori, Andrew McDonald and Pat and Mitch as captains, it is just so enjoyable. I make good money playing for Australia and I would love to prioritise playing for Australia and being with my family,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t get enough out of franchise cricket. It\u2019s great for certain aspects of your life, and it can be really enjoyable, but it\u2019s not like being in the Aussie dressing room, not for me anyway. I don\u2019t get the same buzz out of it\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n Notably, the wrist spinner is one of the most sought-after spinners all over the world with his remarkable wicket-taking ability in the white-ball formats. Zampa was the second-highest wicket taker of the tournament during Australia\u2019s T20 World Cup triumph in 2021. He also finished on the second spot in the wicket-taker\u2019s list during ODI World Cup 2023 with 23 scalps to his name from 11 innings.<\/p>\nAdam Zampa: Man with the golden arm for Australia<\/h3>\n
