Adam Zampa warns Australia about spin test ahead of T20 World Cup

Zampa was speaking after the Australia fell to a 22-run defeat in the opening T20I against Pakistan in Lahore in what is a three-match warm-up series ahead of teh global tournament.

The tourists could not chase down a target of 169 after the home team employed a four-prong spin attack in the second innings.

Zampa, who took 4-24 with his leg-spin, said after the game: "Definitely in Sri Lanka. If anything, the challenge in Pakistan is the low bounce; in Sri Lanka it probably spins and bounces a little bit more.

"Tonight, I think the challenge was definitely slow off the wicket, and then the low bounce gets you on the bottom of the bat. It's pretty alien for some of the young guys, particularly, in the group."

Australia have opted to rest plenty of their first-choice players in the series in Pakistan.

Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Ellis and Tim David will all return for the T20 World Cup that kicks off on 7 February.

Zampa added: "Obviously, we've got a very different squad in this series as to what we'll have in the World Cup.

"A lot more experience comes back then, but exposing those guys in the middle order, particularly to conditions like those tonight, it's going to be good for them the long run.

"The conditions will change throughout the World Cup. The first stage of the tournament, particularly in Sri Lanka, the spinners will play a huge role, but it'll change, definitely in India, where my experience is that it's totally different - good batting wickets as you've seen in the latest series with New Zealand there."
