Adam Zampa is poised to join Victoria in a bid to turbocharge his Test cricket dream as dumped NSW left-armer Steve O'Keefe declared supporting young spinners "a matter of urgency" if Australia wanted to win a series in India again.

NSW’s announcement on the weekend that they were cutting O’Keefe fuelled speculation that his place in the Blues’ squad could be taken by fellow tweaker Zampa, who has been linked for several weeks with a move from South Australia to either Victoria or NSW.

However, rather than return to NSW – the state in which he was born and made his first-class debut – sources have indicated Australia’s frontline white-ball spinner is highly likely to move to Melbourne and chance his arm with Victoria. In another development, highly productive paceman Chris Tremain could also be on the move, from Victoria to NSW.

The Blues are unlikely to recruit another spinner from interstate to replace O'Keefe, who will continue to play for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League and for Manly in the Sydney first-grade competition. Due to Australia's heavy white-ball commitments next summer they will have Test spinner Nathan Lyon at their disposal for some of the season but according to sources fellow spinner Dan Fallins is also in danger of missing a state contract.
