For tournament success, David Miller is relying on Hashim Amla’s advice
David Miller, a middle-order batsman for South Africa, has stated that he is relying on Hashim Amla’s advice to win the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. South Africa will play Australia in the T20 World Cup opener on October 23 at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. “You are only as good as your last game, as the phrase goes, but Hashim always told me that you are only as good as your next game. It’s all about resetting the clock and the head, as well as attempting to manage and truly be there in the moment ” Miller was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying.
“I had the pleasure of playing with him for many years, and I believe the most important lesson I learned from him was to never give up. On the field, we strive for consistency, and off the field, we want to be consistent people. That’s what I like about Hashim and his influence: he’s lovely and serene, and he’s a tower of power; he’s the silent assassin “Added he.
Miller went on to say the following regarding Amla’s influence: “He was focused on getting the job done, but also on being pleasant and reliable as a person. It’s been a great ride with him, and I’ll keep in touch with him for any guidance during the T20 World Cup.”
Miller was also a member of the 2013 Proteas ODI squad that competed in the UAE, and he now aims to pass on what he learned over the IPL’s last two seasons.
“It’s great to be a member of the group and share my experiences in terms of leadership. I believe we have a lot to offer off the field, based on what we’ve learned in the IPLs, past IPLs, and when we played for South Africa against Pakistan in Dubai. We’re taking on more and more leadership roles, and maybe it’ll all pay off in the end “Miller stated.
