"Explosive left-hander David Miller makes his return to the T20Is set-up - ICC"

Johannesburg, August 23

Explosive left-hander David Miller makes his return to the T20Is set-up following the home series against Pakistan last year as the Proteas announced the squads for the white-ball series against England starting from September.

The squad that has featured in the ongoing white-ball series against Australia has been strengthened by some major returns. Miller's previous outing for South Africa across formats came in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, when he scored a valiant century in the semi-final loss against New Zealand.

Also making a return to the T20I setup is all-rounder Marco Jansen, who missed out on the T20I series against Australia, as per ICC.

Meanwhile, Kagiso Rabada, who was ruled out of the ongoing ODI series Down Under owing to an ankle injury, has been named in both the ODI and T20I squads for England.

South Africa is coming on the back of an ODI series win against Australia, having lost the preceding, closely-contested T20I series by a 2-1 margin.

The Proteas will play three ODIs and as many T20Is against England, starting September 2.

The T20I series presents a valuable stage for preparation en route to next year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

Good to see Rabada back in both squads after his injury. South Africa's bowling attack looks much stronger with him and Ngidi together. England series should be exciting!

The schedule looks packed with back-to-back matches. Hope the players manage their workload properly, especially with the World Cup coming up.

While the squad looks good, I'm concerned about the middle order consistency. Miller's return helps, but they need more reliable finishers in T20 cricket.

Exciting to see Marco Jansen back in T20Is! His all-round abilities add so much balance to the team. Can't wait for the England series! 🤩
