T20 World Cup Group: After his magnificent spell of 2-28 played a key role in Australia beating England by 36 runs in their men’s T20 World Cup Group B match, leg-spinner Adam Zampa said him pulling out of IPL 2024 was the best thing in preparing well for the global tournament.

Zampa was supposed to join Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2024, but pulled out of it due to personal reasons. His preparation for the T20 World Cup included being a part of non-IPL players training camp in Brisbane, and playing warm-up matches.

Against England, Zampa came after power-play to take out openers Jos Buttler and Phil Salt in quick succession and from there, they lost the plot as Australia clinched a 36-run win, with the leg-spinner earning Player of the Match award.
