\u201cHe is a world-class bowler, and his experience and insights will certainly benefit our group. We look forward to assisting him with his goal of continuing to represent Australia with distinction in the future,\u201d \ufeffQueensland\u2019s new high performance boss Bennett King said.<\/p>\n
Queensland will be the 34-year-old\u2019s third state, having spent seven years with South Australia earlier in his career that has so far included taking 351 wickets across 239 ODIs and T2oIs.<\/p>\n
Zampa teased the move north earlier this year by posting a tongue-in-cheek Instagram story about wanting to play for a new Big Bash franchise called the \u201cGold Coast Magic\u201d alongside good friend and long-time national teammate Kane Richardson.<\/p>\n
That cheeky post came off the back of the BBL privatisation push with Zampa\u2019s future in the competition uncertain as he is currently having a free agent, having wrapped up his most recent deal with the Melbourne Renegades.<\/p>\n

It has been tipped that Zampa could be on his way to the Brisbane Heat.<\/p>\n
That would mean forming a leg spinning partnership with Mitchell Swepson in both T20 and one-day cricket.<\/p>\n
Zampa is unlikely to push for Swepson\u2019s Sheffield Shield spot given he played just one first class fixture for NSW in the last three years.<\/p>\n
While he may not be a regular in maroon either as last season he played just two games for the Blues in one-day cricket.<\/p>\n
That was largely due to international commitments and then Zampa decided to not take Tanveer Sangha\u2019s place for the final, which NSW won against Tasmania in Hobart.<\/p>\n
