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.”
The multi-time World Cup winning cricketer also spoke about how he put in the work in the last few months in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup 2024 and remarked, “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.”
“Never really thought of it that way, to be honest. I had to fight for my position in the team for a long time,” stated Adam Zampa on getting compared with the late great Australian legend Shane Warne.
