Johannesburg, 31 January (H.S.): South Africa's seasoned middle-order stalwart David Miller earned full medical clearance on Saturday for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka, primed to rendezvous with the Proteas squad departing Sunday for Mumbai from OR Tambo International Airport.

Miller, sidelined by an adductor strain incurred representing Paarl Royals in the recently concluded SA20 League—precluding West Indies T20Is—acquitted a rigorous fitness evaluation this week, greenlighting his integration post his last outing versus India in a five-match T20I series.

Boasting a stellar T20I ledger—133 matches, 2,630 runs at 32.87 average, 140.56 strike rate—Miller's reinstatement fortifies a Proteas unit reeling from Donovan Ferreira's fractured shoulder and Tony de Zorzi's hamstring tear, supplanted by Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickelton; his finishing prowess heralds substantial succor.
