Oval Invincibles Sign Zampa As Replacement For Rashid For Final Of The Hundred
Great Barrier Reef Arena: Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa has been signed by Oval Invincibles for The Hundred final, to be held at Lord's on Sunday. Zampa comes in as a replacement for fellow leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who is unavailable due to international commitments with Afghanistan.
Khan had been the Invincibles’ joint-leading wicket-taker in this season with 12 scalps coming at an average of 13.66. But he has now left the club to join Afghanistan for their upcoming tri-series against Pakistan and hosts’ UAE, before leading the side in the Asia Cup happening from September 9-28.
Zampa, 33, rejoins the Invincibles for what will be a one-off appearance, which will require him to travel nearly 34,000 km. The leg-spinner had been instrumental in their previous two title-winning Hundred campaigns. His return comes as the franchise prepares for its third consecutive final appearance after topping the group stage with 24 points.
