The Proteas have confirmed batsman David Miller‘s availability for next month’s T20 World Cup.
Miller had been sidelined by an injury sustained during the SA20 earlier this month, but has recovered to retain a place in South Africa’s 15-man squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
“David Miller has been medically cleared for next month’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka,” read Saturday’s statement from Cricket South Africa.
“Miller successfully underwent a fitness test this week following an adductor muscle strain sustained while playing for Paarl Royals during the SA20.
“He will join the squad on Sunday, when they depart for Mumbai from Johannesburg.”
Meanwhile, batsmen Tony de Zorzi and Donovan Ferreira have been ruled out of the Proteas’ T20 World Cup squad due to respective hamstring and shoulder injuries. Batsmen Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs have replaced de Zorzi and Ferreira.
The 2026 T20 World Cup will be played from 7 February to 8 March.
South Africa have been grouped with Afghanistan, Canada, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.
India are the reigning champions. They beat South Africa in the 2024 final.
The West Indies, India and England are the most successful teams in the history of the tournament with two titles each.
