Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa has joined Surrey for the club's next four T20 Blast games.

And should they advance to the knockout phase, Zampa will be available for the quarter-finals and Finals Day later in the season.

The 33-year-old is the Aussies' all-time leading wicket taker in T20 internationals with 117 in 95 matches.

Zampa has also claimed 187 wickets in 111 ODIs and is a World Cup winner in the 20 and 50-over formats.

"I can't wait to get going for Surrey and to play in front of the Kia Oval crowd once again," he said.

"It's one of the great grounds in the world to play the game and I know how much playing for Surrey means to the lads so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's all about."

Zampa has won the last two editions of the Hundred with the Oval Invincibles, having previously represented Welsh Fire in the competition in 2022, and also played county cricket for Essex in 2018 and 2019.

He has also appeared in a number of T20 franchise competitions, including the Indian Premier League and Caribbean Premier League.

He will be available for Surrey's upcoming T20 Blast fixtures against Essex, Gloucestershire, Glamorgan and Somerset.

Surrey are currently second in the South group, trailing leaders Somerset by four points, having played eight of their 14 group games.
