Oval Invincibles have held discussions with Adam Zampa over the possibility of signing the Australia leg-spinner for Sunday's Hundred final.

The two-time defending champions effectively qualified for the Lord's showpiece by beating London Spirit at The Oval on Monday.

They picked both Rashid Khan and fellow wrist-spinner Nathan Sowter throughout the first six matches of the tournament but Rashid has since left the squad for international duty.

The Afghanistan international was not replaced, meaning his place in the squad remains open.

Zampa, 33, played for Invincibles in their title-winning seasons in 2023 and 2024 but turned out for Australia against South Africa in a one-day international in Queensland on Sunday.

While nothing has been signed, Invincibles coach Tom Moody said Zampa was keen to travel.

Zampa played for Surrey in the T20 Blast earlier this year and their quarter-final against Northamptonshire takes place three days after the Hundred final on 3 September.

"Ideally we want Zamps," Moody told Sky Sports.

"We just are working through that. He is keen to come back.

"He is familiar with this group and Surrey as well, having played in the Blast."
