5 young bowlers to look out for in the upcoming Cricket season

#4 Adam Zampa (Australia)

Zampa has an uncanny knack of picking up wickets at regular intervals

Cameron White, Steven Smith, Cameron Boyce – Australia has gone through a revolving door of leg spinners in pursuit of Warne’s heir apparent. They may have failed to find a Shane Warne, but they certainly have discovered an Adam Zampa.

With a bustling run up, excellent wrist movement and multiflous revolutions on the ball, Zampa was one of the finds of the Big Bash, where he plied most of his trade. He also averages under 25 in both ODIs and T20Is, which is a feat worthy of panegyrics.

He became noticed during his tenure at the Rising Pune Supergiants in the 2016 IPL, where he outshone his much-vaunted teammate R Ashwin to emerge as the side’s premier spinner. He even took 6-19 – the best figures by a spinner in IPL history – to further highlight his credentials.

With a three-wicket haul against West Indies recently to boot, Zampa looks to certainly make his presence felt in a packed Australian XI and be a suitable foil to Nathan Lyon this year.

Upcoming fixtures: Tri-Series in West Indies, Tour of Sri Lanka in July, Hosting SA in November, Hosting Pakistan in December
