Veteran batter David Miller has been declared fit for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed via a media release on Saturday, January 31.
Miller was named when CSA announced the 15-member squad despite carrying an injury, with selectors hopeful that the veteran batter would regain fitness in time. According to CSA, Miller successfully underwent a fitness test this week following an adductor muscle strain sustained while playing for the Paarl Royals during the SA20. The southpaw has been given a clean chit by the medical team.
The 36-year-old will join the squad on Sunday in Johannesburg, from where they depart for Mumbai.
“Proteas Men’s batter David Miller has been medically cleared for next month’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka,” CSA said in a social media post. “Miller successfully underwent a fitness test this week following an adductor muscle strain sustained while playing for the Paarl Royals during the SA20. He will join the squad on Sunday when they depart for Mumbai from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.”
