Sunfoil Dolphins batsman David Miller is honoured to be given another opportunity with the Castle Lager Proteas’ ODI squad.
Miller was called up as a replacement for suspended captain AB de Villiers, who will missing the remaining Momentum ODI Series after a slow over-rate in the first ODI in Paarl.
Miller, who joined up with the squad in Kimberley on Sunday said: “It’s a fantastic feeling, it’s been a while since I last played ODI cricket but for me it’s a great honour to be back in the green and gold. It’s another opportunity for me so I really hope I make good use of it.”
Miller last played an ODI for South Africa in 2011 against Australia, after making his debut in the West Indies at the age of 20. He has had successful T20 county stints with Durham and Yorkshire, while contributing consistently for the Dolphins in limited overs cricket and says he has learnt a lot since making his debut.
“There has been a lot of talk in the last couple of years about me not being able to rotate the strike. That is something that I was conscious of while I was overseas and playing T20 cricket.
“I have been working off the field on certain things, especially concentrating on the first few balls of my innings and allowing myself time to get myself in and to assess the conditions.”
