Every now and then, there is a weird moment on-field which catches the attention of the fans. A similar moment was caught on camera back in 2016, where Australian cricketers Usman Khawaja and Adam Zampa were the main protagonists. This instance occured during the second ODI between Australia and New Zealand in February 2016 when the national anthems were being sung.
Adam Zampa was making his International debut in the same match, where he was subject to some weird gestures from Australian batter Usman Khawaja. During the national anthem, Khawaja was seen grabbing Adam Zampa’s butt which certainly seemed unusual at the moment.
The whole instance went on for a couple of seconds, as this instance still lives fresh in the memory of fans. There could be several reasons for Usman Khawaja’s actions, however, one can assume that they were meant in a cheerful taste.

Adam Zampa had an ideal ODI debut, as he picked up two wickets in the second ODI. The Australian leg-spinner ended with figures of two for 57 in his 10-over spell. Moreover, the visitors ended on the winning side which made it a memorable debut for Adam Zampa.
However, Australia went on to lose the three-match ODI series, after being completely blown away by the Black Caps in the final fixture. Adam Zampa again put forward a decent display in the third ODI, picking up a wicket and conceding just 45 runs in 10 overs.
