Jamaica Tallawahs have called up New Zealand legspinner Ish Sodhi as a like-for-like replacement for Australia’s Adam Zampa, who will be returning to the country for the start of their domestic season.
This will be Sodhi’s first CPL stint. He was most recently involved in the Vitality Blast, where he picked 19 wickets in 15 matches for Nottinghamshire, who made the quarterfinals. Earlier this year, he made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals after being signed as a replacement for injured Afghanistan legspinner Zahir Khan.
Zampa took nine wickets in as many matches for Tallawahs this CPL. That included 3 for 27 in four overs in a victory against St Lucia Stars at the start of the tournament. Zampa’s scalps included those of Andre Fletcher and Kieron Pollard.
The Tallawahs have already qualified for the playoffs and are currently in third place. They face the second-placed Guyana Amazon Warriors in their final league encounter before heading into the knockouts.
