The South Africa cricket team has suffered a major setback before the upcoming Champions Trophy. Star batsman David Miller Durban was injured during Parl Royals' SA20 match against Super Giants. Miller, who was captaining Parl Royals in the SA20, was injured while fielding in the cover during the innings of Durban.
Miller suffered an injury to stop the shot of Marcus Stoinis, due to which he had to go out of the field shortly after the initial treatment of medical staff. It is difficult to say anything about how serious Miller's injury is, but there is no good news for the South African team as Miller did not return to bat while chasing his team's target of 144 runs.
However, Royals did not lack Miller and defeated Durban Super Giants by six wickets thanks to the brilliant contribution of Luan-Dre Pritorius and Rubin Harman. The injury has raised concern for South Africa, as Miller is an important player in Temba Bavuma's team for the upcoming Champions Trophy. The absence of Miller, known to win his match, can severely affect Protiaz's campaign.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) is expected to closely monitor the severity of his injury in the coming days. The situation of Lungi Ngidi, another important player, who was part of South Africa's Champions Trophy team, is also a matter of concern. Miller's fellow player in Parl Royals has been out of the last four SA20 matches due to a waist injury. South Africa is trying to eliminate the drought of its ICC Trophy, the fitness of prominent players such as Miller and Engidi will undoubtedly play an important role in shaping their campaign.
