Miller, 36, has not featured in international cricket since South Africa\u2019s run to the 2025 Champions Trophy semi-final in March. He then signed a hybrid contract with Cricket South Africa (CSA).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Miller skipped South Africa\u2019s white-ball tour of Australia in August to play for Northern Superchargers in the recently concluded The Hundred, and is absent from the ODI squad in England. Miller, though, will return for the three-match T20I series starting on September 10.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"What I understand is that those communications were done during his contract times, in terms of him being available during this period for the Hundred. Essentially, he wasn't available for selection - but I stand by the correction around that\u2026 David's still within the mix in the ODI stuff, if that answers your question.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The Australia tour would've coincided with the Hundred. I guess any international commitments that occurred during the Hundred, David wasn't available for. Unfortunately, the one-day [series] it clashes with: he wasn't part of our build-up. But then with the T20 stuff, the Hundred is done, he'll fall back into the team,\" said Bavuma to reporters on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

South Africa will also miss the services of Matthew Breetzke and Kagiso Rabada in Tuesday\u2019s series-opener due to minor niggles. Bavuma stated the series in England forms part of South Africa\u2019s longer-term preparation for the 2027 World Cup. \"That's the bigger picture\u2026 But we'd like to bring ourselves back to here and what we need to do to be successful in England.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
