Australia's shorter formats ace spinner Adam Zampa is keen to make his Test debut in the next year's Sri Lanka tour.

Zampa has pushed his case for Test debut after picking up four wickets in the New South Wales' four-wicket defeat to Tasmania. White-ball schedules often eluded him from playing Shield matches. The match against Tasmania is his first first-class game since 2023.

"It's something I'd like to do and challenge myself at. If I got to end my career and it didn't pan out that way then I'd be okay with it," Zampa said. 

"I might look back one day and feel like maybe I didn't give it a 100 per cent crack. 

"I feel like playing these games and putting my hand up for the Sri Lanka tour and being keen for that is fine.

"It's important if I am on that tour that I have a bit of mileage in my legs and it's not a huge shock to the system because Sunday was."

Zampa has bagged 115 wickets in Sheffield Shield at an average of 46.56, compared to 10 scalps at 28.7 in his three games this decade.

"I was eager to play a lot of first-class cricket when I was young, but I probably wasn't good enough or as confident as I am now," Zampa said. 
"I bowled a lot more bad balls than I do know. I wasn't confident with my own reading of the game where as now I feel like I can read guys a lot better and have less mental fog.

"It's being able to have a bit more resilience on day-one wickets when you're trying to hold up an end."
