Proteas batter David Miller opens up about the desire to lift the World Cup trophy as South Africa prepares to host the 2027 ICC ODI World cup
South Africa’s veteran middle-order batter David Miller has expressed his deep desire to finish his career by lifting the ICC Men’s 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. They 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, it’s a goal that I want to achieve. I would love to finish off late in my career with a trophy. So, for me, it’s a goal that I would love to be a part of that World Cup team. It’s something that is never guaranteed, and I’ll 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 I’ve played for so many years. So, it would be fantastic to be a part of that team,” Miller told JioStar.
