Australia spinner Adam Zampa remains hopeful of donning the iconic Baggy Green cap despite his sparse first-class appearances in recent years. Zampa, who has become a key figure in Australia's limited-overs setup, believes his current form and experience would make him a strong contender for Test selection, particularly for subcontinent tours. Zampa's Test aspirations first gained traction last year when he was considered a strong candidate for Australia's Test tour of India. However, the selectors ultimately opted for Queensland's Mitchell Swepson, leaving Zampa disappointed but undeterred.
