'Completely drained from 2023' Zampa prioritises fitness over IPL for T20 World Cup readiness

Zampa was all set to feature in Rajasthan Royals’ IPL campaign this year, before pulling out before the start of the tournament. He had featured for the Royals in the 2023 season and finished with eight wickets at an average of 23.5 and a strike rate of 16.5. The leg-spinner could've been an important asset in the arsenal of his IPL franchise again this year but decided against it after placing importance on his physical and mental well-being and the need to spend time with his family. Having been “drained” from incessant cricket over the last 12 months, in which Australia were crowed the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup champions in November 2023, the leg-spinner opted out of this edition of the IPL, to give himself a well-needed rest ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. Speaking to the Willow Talk podcast, Zampa detailed his reasons.
