Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa is getting married and will miss Royal Challengers Bangalore`s opening IPL match against defending champions Mumbai Indians on April 9, the team`s director of cricket Mike Hesson said on Wednesday. "Adam Zampa is getting married... We won`t have our full contingent of overseas players available for the first game," Hesson said in a video posted in Twitter.
The 28-year-old Zampa, who has 200 wickets in 173 T20s, played just three matches and took two wickets last season in UAE. "It`s an important time for him and it`s something that as a franchise we are aware of and we respect and we hope he has a great time," Hesson said. "So when he joins us, once again he is going to be fresh and make a massive contribution to the rest of the tournament." RCB will begin their camp in Chennai on March 29, a day after India`s ODI series against England gets over. RCB skipper Virat Kohli and others who are part of India`s ODI squad in Pune will have a bubble-to-bubble transfer without having to serve the seven-day quarantine. Rest of the members will arrive in batches.
