Zampa made his ODI debut for Australia back in 2016 against New Zealand. He now has a tally of 169 wickets in his bag, including incredible runs in ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 and ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. In both the occasions he ended up being the leading wicket-taker for Australia and helped them to their glory of maiden T20 World Cup and 6th ODI world Cup respectively.

Zampa's family will be in attendance when he plays his 100th ODI in Nottingham.

"It means a lot to me. I never thought I'd play this much for Australia."

"The feeling of playing for your country and still winning for your country beats playing franchise cricket and winning franchise cricket. I experienced the Hundred, it was great, I loved playing it, and winning at the end is a bonus but it hits different when you play for your country, when you win World Cups. Still got that drive to win many more," Zampa said.

Zampa also talked about the future of ODI Cricket and says he doesn’t see the ODI's are a dying format.

"There's been a lot of questions about the ODI format and what that looks [like] going forward. In terms of playing for Australia and that drive, I think every young guy coming through still thinks that's the be-all and end-all," Zampa said.

"But feels like playing for your country is still the priority. I agree with you, don't know what it's going to look like in the next few years, particularly with this format, but I feel like ODI cricket's still a really good format, I still enjoy playing it and think a lot of young guys coming through still see it as a good opportunity to play for your country," he added.
