Miller up for challenge in T20 series against England

The series kicks off in Bristol on Wednesday. 

The tourists face the hosts on successive days, starting with the clash at the Seat Unique Stadium and followed by another in Cardiff on Thursday. 

The series concludes with a trip to Hampshire on Sunday. 

Miller is leading the visitors in the absence of injured skipper Temba Bavuma.

“I have captained a few times in my career so far and what I have learnt is that things do get a little bit crazy and frantic out there,” he told the media at a pre-series press conference.

“It’s just about having your clear plans along with staying as calm as possible.  

“I’ve already done a bit of prep and hopefully will be nice and prepared for tomorrow leading into the next couple games.” 

Some of the relatively new faces in the mix for this series include batsmen Rilee Rossouw and Tristan Stubbs, together with paceman Gerald Coetzee. 

Meanwhile, England themselves have been getting use to life under a new captain after Jos Buttler stepped up following the retirement of Eoin Morgan. 

Miller conceded that the hosts will present a tough challenge, although he was confident the South Africans will be prepared. 

“The England team has come a long way in the last couple of years. They are a formidable team, Jos has played a lot under Eoin Morgan, he’s got great experience and has travelled all around the world, he plays IPL and has done extremely well on the international circuits.”
