Winning 2027 WC Is A Goal; I'd Love To Finish Off My Career With A Trophy: Miller

Cricket World Cup: South Africas veteran middle-order batter David Miller has expressed his deep desire to finish his career by lifting the ICC Mens Cricket World Cup 2027 on home soil, adding that he remains driven to secure the ultimate prize in familiar conditions. The tournament is scheduled to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia from October 4 to November 21, 2027. South Africa are yet to win an ODI World Cup and South Africa reached the semi-finals in 2023, before losing to Australia in the semi-final in Kolkata. Yeah, I am really looking forward to it. For me, its a goal that I want to achieve. I would love to finish off late in my career with a trophy. So, for me, its a goal that I would love to be a part of that World Cup team. Its something that is never guaranteed, and Ill definitely, from now until then, be focused on aiming to make that team and to contribute the best I can. Obviously, it will be very special, being at home in front of our fans and in a place that Ive played for so many years. So, it would be fantastic to be a part of that team, Miller told JioStar. Miller, who scored 166 runs in eight matches for Southern Brave in The Hundred 2026, opened up about his longevity and the art of finishing matches with aplomb. Probably the fact that Ive made a career by batting in the middle order and finishing games; that would be something Im most proud of. Its something that takes a long time to kind of conquer and master. Im still learning all the time, but at least Ive had a long career in that department, and Ive really enjoyed going about chasing innings, especially. Having spent over a decade in the IPL, Miller singled out his title-winning run with Gujarat Titans in 2022 as his best moment of being in the competition. My favourite moment in the IPL... there have been many, but we obviously play to win, so definitely winning the IPL for Gujarat Titans would be that. Its something that takes a long time to kind of conquer and master. Im still learning all the time, but at least Ive had a long career in that department, and Ive really enjoyed going about chasing innings, especially. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think there was a lot at stake there, and it kind of set my career up if I look back at it now. Then there was another knock that Ill always remember as well, the one in Durban against Australia. We chased down a score there as well and I scored a hundred, 118 not out or something. So, those two knocks under pressure, scoring hundreds, theyll always kind of stand out, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
