Indian Premier League is a tournament that most cricketers look forward to. Along with the excitement that the T20 league offers, IPL is a way to make some quick bucks for players all around the world. Moreover, there was also suggestion of IPL being the ideal preparation for T20 World Cup.
However, there are exceptions too, as proved by Adam Zampa. After a fantastic bowling display against England in the T20 World Cup, Zampa said pulling out of IPL 2024 was the best thing that could have happened to him before the T20 World Cup.
“Yeah, obviously made that decision a little while ago to pull out of the IPL and I thought it was the best thing for me moving forward into this World Cup,” said Zampa at the post-match press conference.
“I was tired, I had some niggles and I’m a family man as well, so trying to put them first over work sometimes is pretty important.

“I actually am a bit of a slow starter and I put in a little bit of extra work. My body feels great and I just did that bit of extra work. Maybe a bit more bowling than I usually would before a tournament like this. And then the practice games and everything just feels nice at the moment,” Zampa added.
