‘He is an important member of the team’ - Temba Bavuma on David Miller

South Africa’s white-ball captain Temba Bavuma has recently expressed that he would have a chat with the swashbuckling batter David Miller about the latter's role in the national T20 team. However, Bavuma's comments came after the veteran was named their squad for their upcoming T20I series against India. However, Miller hasn't been consistent for his national team for some time now. Still, he has had a stellar season while playing for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the recently-concluded season of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. In 16 games, Miller smashed 481 runs which came at an average of 68.71 and a strike rate of 142.72, including two half-centuries. "He has performed exceedingly well in the IPL. Whatever feelings of insecurity he had are gone now. We will have a conversation. He is an important member of the team. If he feels he can add more value higher up the order, it is a conversation to have," Bavuma told the reporters. The South African skipper also opened up about preparations for the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in Australia later this year. The captain has also said that South Africa is yet to get together a proper team, but the sublime form of players in T20 leagues is expected to help them. "The important thing is to prepare for the World Cup. The guys need to be in a competitive space. And the India series will be an important part of the competitive process, even if the conditions will be different in Australia," he stated. "We haven't got together as a team but the rest of the (non-IPL players) have had good sessions. We will arrive a bit early to get familiarised. With multiple formats (this season), it will be important to manage the workload, especially the bowlers," Bavuma further added. Notably, the Titans won the 15th edition of the cash-rich league. They beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the final by seven wickets and clinched the title in their debut season only, and the 'Killer Miller' of the old was on display.
