Surrey sign Australian spinner Adam Zampa for T20 Blast
Surrey: Australia spinner Adam Zampa has signed for Surrey to play four T20 Blast games. He will arrive ahead of Surrey's double-header fixture against Essex at The Oval on July 6. The 33-year-old is the highest wicket-taker for Australia in T20 cricket with 117 wickets. He was the first Australian to pass 100 T20I scalps and was part of the teams that won the T20 World Cup in 2021 and the 50-over World Cup in 2023. The leg-spinner has over 350 T20 wickets in a career that has taken him around the world to all the biggest franchise leagues, including the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Big Bash, and The Hundred – where he helped the Oval Invincibles to back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024. Sam Curran's Surrey have been in excellent form in the competition, winning a last-ball thriller against Kent with Chris Jordan striking the final delivery for four to secure victory. This was followed by comprehensive victories at home against Sussex and Middlesex, the latter in front of a sell-out crowd. Zampa's first game will be the double-header against Essex on July 6, followed by a trip to Bristol to take on Gloucestershire. He'll be in action again at The Oval as Surrey take on Glamorgan on July 11 under the lights before rounding off his initial spell in the Three Feathers in another double-header against group leaders Somerset on July 13. If Surrey reach the knockout stages of the competition, Zampa will be available for the quarter-finals and Finals Day. Alec Stewart, High-Performance Cricket Advisor at Surrey CCC, said, 'Adam Zampa is one of the finest T20 spinners in world cricket, and I'm excited to welcome him to Surrey for the Vitality Blast. He brings a wealth of experience and technical skills on the pitch and great character off it.' Adam Zampa said, 'I can't wait to get going for Surrey and to play in front of the Kia Oval crowd once again. It's one of the great grounds in the world to play the game, and I know how much playing for Surrey means to the lads, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's all about.'

Adam Zampa ruled out of IPL 2025, SRH sign Smaran Ravichandran as replacement
Sunrisers Hyderabad have confirmed the withdrawal of Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa from the remainder of IPL 2025 after a recurrence of a pre-existing shoulder injury. Zampa featured in SRH's first two matches as an Impact Substitute, returning figures of 1 for 48 and 1 for 46 in high-scoring games, including a match that saw 528 combined runs between SRH and Rajasthan Royals. However, the 32-year-old began experiencing soreness in his bowling shoulder — an injury he had previously dealt with before the 2023 ODI World Cup — and subsequently missed four matches. He has now returned to Australia for medical assessment. Zampa had recovered from the same issue in time to play a key role in Australia's 2023 World Cup win, finishing as the tournament's second-highest wicket-taker. Though there was initial hope for a short recovery and potential return to the IPL, SRH opted to replace him in the squad. Stepping in is Karnataka's 21-year-old left-handed batter R. Smaran, signed at his base price of INR 30 lakh. Smaran has scored over 500 runs in seven first-class matches at an average of 64.50, including a double century against Punjab. In List A cricket, he averages 72.16 from 10 matches with two centuries to his name, while his T20 strike rate of 170 from six games further showcases his potential in the shortest format. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have also made a squad addition, signing Mumbai batter Mhatre at the same base price of INR 30 lakh. Zampa is not expected to return to competitive cricket until Australia's T20I series against the West Indies in the Caribbean, scheduled for late July. Despite the latest setback, he remains an integral part of Australia's build-up to the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next year. The Australian team is set to play 19 bilateral T20Is between July and February as part of its preparations for the tournament.

Cummins and Head facing 'ramifications' in $5 million Aussie cricket drama
Pat Cummins and Travis Head's Sunrisers Hyderabad team have hit rock-bottom in the IPL, slumping to a fourth-consecutive loss to sit dead-last on the ladder. The Aussie cricket stars are being paid $3.7 million and $1.2m respectively in this year's tournament, but haven't been able to lead their team to much glory. Cummins' side made the final last year, but have their work cut out just to make the playoffs in 2025. The Sunrisers seem to lost their mojo after crashing to a comprehensive seven-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans on Sunday night. Head only managed eight from five balls while opening the batting as Hyderabad were restricted to 8-152 from their 20 overs. The Aussie batter was superb in the 2024 tournament, but hasn't been able to reach those same lofty heights this year. Cummins made a late cameo of 22 off nine balls with the bat, and despite respectable bowling figures he couldn't save his team from another defeat. Cummins took 1-26 off 3.4 overs, which was much better compared to previous games in which he's leaked over 10 runs per over. But the Aussie captain conceded the winning runs in just the 17th over, adding more embarrassment to a disastrous start for the Sunrisers. Speaking after the game, coach Daniel Vettori called for calm. "I don't think Pat has ever panicked in his life and I think I'm pretty similar," said the Kiwi, who also works as Australia's assistant coach. "But we understand the ramifications of losing four in a row and how difficult it makes the season. "It's tough because obviously you come into the season with high expectations after last year and then a very good start. But we just haven't been near our best in the last four games." Cummins got danger-man Jos Buttler caught behind for a duck, and only conceded six runs in his first two overs of the power play. But Gujarat captain Shubman Gill was in superb touch, making a controlled 61 not out off 43 to guide his side to victory. RELATED: Mitch Marsh statement stuns cricket world after call on future Candice Warner questions Ricky Ponting over 'disappointing' move He was aided by a sparkling 49 off 29 from all-rounder Washington Sundar, as Gujarat reached the total with seven wickets in hand and 20 balls to spare. Cummins didn't get much support from the rest of his attack, which was without the axed Adam Zampa for the second match running. Zampa was left out of the last game, with Cummins and the Sunrisers' coaching staff appearing to misjudge how much spin would come into the contest. But they went without the Aussie tweaker again on Sunday night in a stunning fall from grace for the white-ball specialist. Both Rahul chahar and Adam zampa should have played all 5 matches together But why @SunRisers are not playing them together ? Zeeshan is not at all threatening the opposition. You need experience to win matches in IPL — O'Range FIRE 🔥 Idhi 🚩 (@Sunrisers_Hyd) April 6, 2025 Why not using Rahul Chahar ? I thought him and Adam Zampa will play they have got that completely wrong Pat Cummins batted well and bowled well in the powerplay today — Manas (@manas0118) April 6, 2025 Changes and strategies are required for better have good spinners. Like Rahul chahar, Adam zampa Let's give them a chance and see if they can help us to win.@SunRisers — palla (@PallaPawankumar) April 6, 2025 Mohammed Siraj was superb for the Titans, picking up 4-17 in four overs. Siraj, who was dropped from India's team for the ODI Champions Trophy last month, said the break made him work on his bowling. "At the start (of the break), I could not digest," Siraj said about his axing. "But then I explained to myself that I have so many things planned. It (selection for Champions Trophy) was not to be, but I concentrated on my mindset, my fitness. Enjoying my bowling now." with agencies
