Notably, the league has scrapped the overseas player draft and approved private investment in its franchises, while changes to the salary cap are expected to create more opportunities for Australian players. However, many leading domestic players remain tied to existing contracts with BBL franchises.
“I think I was always playing the BBL,” Zampa said. “There's obviously been a lot behind the scenes happening with overseas drafts and money, and the local players hoping for it to land somewhere in their favour. So there was always a little bit of that discussion happening in the background.

Ben Stokes has signed a lucrative deal with the Adelaide Strikers, while New Zealand opener Finn Allen is among the high-profile overseas players. Adam Zampa said that overseas talent has strengthened the BBL, but the current system has left some established Australian players feeling shortchanged.
“The draft's gone, and that money, instead of having slots for each player, then you can potentially go and pay more for good overseas, and then have less overseas, which is kind of what's happened, and it's kind of against the point as to what the local players think we kind of deserve.”

“Being one of the only players in the Australian team that was off contract, there was definitely discussions with other teams,” he said. “[But] once it got to crunch time, I spoke with [Nathan Ellis, Hurricanes captain] a little bit … the people that are at Hobart kind of sparked my interest in what I wanted to get out of playing the Big Bash. I think I've gone to a lot of teams for the people that are there and that's always an important decision in my decision-making.
Zampa becomes only the fourth player in BBL history to represent five different franchises. He has previously played for Sydney Thunder, Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades. Zampa has taken 138 wickets from 121 BBL matches at an average of 23.42 and an economy rate of 7.28.
