Why Did Adam Zampa Rule Out Of IPL 2024? Rajasthan Royals’ Star Spinner Is Now Replaced By A Ranji Player

Adam Zampa has withdrawn from the IPL due to personal reasons, announced abruptly. Despite being retained by the Rajasthan Royals before December’s auction in Dubai on a contract valued at INR 1.5 crore (approximately A$273,000), Zampa’s manager confirmed to a leading news portal that he will not participate in IPL 2024.

With a young family at home and a hectic recent schedule, including participation in the BBL and Australia’s white-ball series against India, West Indies, and New Zealand since the conclusion of last year’s ODI World Cup in India, Zampa cited personal reasons for his decision.

According to reports, Tanush Kotian, a pivotal figure in Mumbai’s triumphant 42nd Ranji Trophy campaign, has been selected as Adam Zampa’s replacement. Kotian, who has featured in 23 T20s, 26 First Class matches, and 19 List A fixtures for Mumbai, joins the Rajasthan Royals at his base price of ₹20 lakhs.

Although the Royals boast the presence of top Indian spinners such as R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, Zampa still managed to feature in six matches during the 2023 season. He claimed eight wickets at an average of 23.50 and an economy rate of 8.54, notably recording figures of 3 for 22 in a home win over the Chennai Super Kings. Zampa has previously represented Royal Challengers Bangalore (formerly Royal Challengers Bangalore) and the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL, accumulating 29 wickets across 20 appearances spread over four different seasons.

In addition to Zampa’s departure, the Royals have also suffered the loss of Prasidh Krishna from their bowling lineup in recent weeks, as he was ruled out for the season following quadriceps surgery. This prompted Manoj Badale, co-owner of the Royals, to emphasize the importance of closer collaboration between franchises and the BCCI’s medical department. Badale expressed frustration at the absence of Prasidh Krishna for another season and stressed the need for enhanced collaboration with the BCCI’s medical team.
