Adam Zampa Picks PSL Over IPL, Says Overseas Spinners Are Undervalued

He argues the IPL’s length makes the trade-off poor for specialist overseas spinners.

Overview

  • The Australian legspinner joined Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League after opting out of the IPL auction for this season.
  • He says IPL auctions favor fast bowlers and all-rounders while most teams choose Indian spinners ahead of overseas options.
  • He adds that limited power hitting and being a specialist spinner reduce his price in that market.
  • Hindustan Times reports his PSL pay is about 60% lower than his last Sunrisers Hyderabad deal of roughly USD 258,000.
  • His record shows the pattern he describes, with 31 wickets in 22 IPL games across four teams and three wickets in three PSL matches so far.
