David Miller's Injury: South Africa's T20 World Cup Prospects Diminish

David Miller faces a race against time to be fit for the upcoming T20 World Cup after suffering a suspected groin injury. He sustained it while fielding in Paarl Royals' game against the Joburg Super Kings on Monday. He left the field in the 16th over and subsequently did not bat during the Royals' chase. The full nature and extent of Miller's injury is not yet known. Miller himself did not offer much insight into his injury after the game. "I don't know, we'll see tomorrow when I pick up. Obviously not ideal," he said when asked how he was feeling. Miller is now the third member of South Africa's T20 World Cup squad to suffer an injury in the lead up to the mega event. Earlier, Donovan Ferreira suffered a fractured shoulder and was ruled out of the ongoing SA20 while Tony de Zorzi is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in December 2025.
