Adam Zampa Set to Miss 1st T20I Against India

Australia will be without star spinner Adam Zampa for the first T20I against India, with leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha called up as his replacement. So Let’s take a look at Adam Zampa Set to Miss 1st T20I Against India.

Zampa Out on Personal Grounds, Sangha Steps In

Australia faces a significant change in its lineup as Adam Zampa, the nation’s highest wicket-taker in T20 internationals, is set to miss the first match of the much-anticipated T20I series against India. The 32-year-old has withdrawn to be with his family for the birth of his second child, a decision that leaves a notable gap in the Australian spin attack. The selectors have responded by bringing in young leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha. Having missed the first ODI of the previous India-Australia series under similar circumstances, Zampa had returned to make a sterling impact, but this time his absence is expected for the early part, if not the entirety, of the five-match T20I series.

Big Opportunity for Sangha Amidst Key Series

For 23-year-old Sangha, this call-up represents a golden opportunity. The promising spinner has been in impressive form, notably taking 7 wickets for Australia A during their recent tour of India, and leads the One-Day Cup wicket charts with 10 wickets in just four matches for New South Wales. Sangha is expected to partner with left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann should the pitches favor spin, offering a new dynamic to the Australian bowling attack. With the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 looming, both teams see this series as a crucial tuning ground, and Sangha’s performances will be closely watched as selectors consider their options for future international campaigns.

Can Tanveer Sangha seize this new opportunity and fill the big shoes of Adam Zampa to boost Australia’s T20I hopes against India?
