#4 Adam Zampa - Australia
Being labelled as a potential successor to Shane Warne, Zampa made his ODI debut on 6 February 2016 in the second match of the 2015–16 Chappell–Hadlee Trophy series. He also made his Twenty20 International debut for Australia against South Africa on 4 March 2016. However, Zampa got noticed in the 2016 IPL after a match against the SunRisers Hyderabad, where he took 6/19, the second best figures in the history of the IPL.
He had made his name in the Big Bash League for South Australia and Melbourne Stars. With subtle changes of pace and a handy wrong’un, Zampa was successful in tying down the batsmen in T20. He impressed in the World T20 in India where he picked up five wickets at 13.80 and an impressive economy of 6.27.

Zampa will, however, face a challenge to become a Test bowler, given his over-reliance on variations and mediocre turn. Zampa has 53 wickets in 22 First-Class matches. His List A and ODI records are much more impressive. He has already become a key figure in Australia’s limited over schemes with 28 wickets in 17 ODIs.
Though he is yet to set the stage on fire, Zampa is one good young spinner the Aussies can boast of.
