CAPE TOWN: Hard-hitting middle-order batsman David Miller has quit first-class cricket in a bid to concentrate on his limited overs game ahead of next year’s World Cup in England and Wales.
The 29-year-old, who jointly holds the record for the fastest Twenty20 International century off 35 balls, is a regular in South Africa’s limited overs teams and says he would rather focus on “the format I love”.
“It was a tough decision to make,” Miller said in a media release from Cricket South Africa on Tuesday.
“I have decided that I would, in future, like to concentrate on white ball cricket to make sure that I am in a position to give myself the best opportunity to play for the Proteas in the format that I love.
“This is an important decision for me, especially with the World Cup looming next year.” Miller added he would play domestic limited overs cricket this season for the Durban-based Dolphins.
