A no stranger to Indian conditions, Zampa starred for Australia in the ICC World T20 last March and competed in the Indian Premier League alongside captain Steve Smith for Rising Pune Supergiants.
"Kumble was a lot taller but not a big turner of the ball and had a lot of success bowling in that manner. Kumble is a legend of the game so it's a bit premature to compare the two, but the style of bowling is certainly very similar so you can make some comparisons there," Hussey was quoted as saying by 'cricket.Com.Au'.
Zampa feels that world No.1 Test bowler Ravichandran Ashwin doesn't want to give too much away.
"I think the way Ashwin bowled in the nets, you ask someone like Smithy (Smith) or guys that you can tell he's going to come up against in international cricket. I think there was one net session to Smithy where he just bowled leggies for an hour.
"I don't think he (Ashwin) wants to give too much away," the leggie said.
Zampa isn't too perturbed by criticism around his inability to turn the ball too much.
"People have a lot of criticism on that side of my game but there's other ways of taking wicket than being a big spinner of the ball.
"A lot of people have been talking about my first-class statistics and all those things, but if I was given the opportunity, the way I bowled in Sri Lanka particularly and I know it's Twenty20 cricket but during the IPL, the respect I've gained from those countries and the players now I think I would suit that role," Zampa said.
