Big Blow for South Africa as David Miller Ruled Out of T20I Series Against England Due to Injury

South Africa and England are set to face each other in a three-match T20I series starting on September 10 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. Before the series begins, South Africa have suffered a big blow as David Miller has been ruled out of the squad due to injury.

David Miller Ruled Out of T20I Series Against England

Proteas batter David Miller picked up an injury during the final week of The Hundred while representing the Northern Superchargers. He has not recovered in time, leaving South Africa without a key middle-order option for the T20I series. No replacement has been named.

Miller, 36, has not played international cricket since the Champions Trophy in March and signed a hybrid contract with Cricket South Africa earlier this year. He also missed South Africa’s white-ball tour of Australia in August while playing in The Hundred and did not feature in the ODI series against England. He will now also miss the upcoming T20Is. Miller was named in South Africa’s T20I squad but has now been ruled out due to injury.

In The Hundred 2025, David Miller played five innings and scored 133 runs at an average of 33.25 with a strike rate of 187.32. Although he did not score a half-century, he contributed with useful cameos in almost every match.

South Africa has also announced that former all-rounder Albie Morkel will join the team as a bowling consultant, bringing his experience to strengthen the squad’s bowling department. The Proteas recently secured a 2-1 win in the ODI series against England.

With the ODI series over, South Africa will now turn their focus to the upcoming T20Is, which will serve as preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup at home.
