Cardiff, Sep 9
South Africa have suffered a blow ahead of their three-match T20 International series against England, with veteran batter David Miller ruled out due to injury.
Cricket South Africa confirmed on Tuesday that the 36-year-old picked up a hamstring problem while featuring in The Hundred for Northern Superchargers.
"Former Proteas all-rounder Albie Morkel joins the T20I support staff as a bowling consultant for the series," the statement added.
In the ODI series, England defeated South Africa with a dominant 342-run win in the final match at Southampton - setting a new record for the largest victory margin by runs in men’s ODI history. The previous record of 317 runs, set by India against Sri Lanka in 2023, was eclipsed by 25 runs.
The series begins at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on Wednesday, before moving to the Ageas Bowl in Southampton and The Oval in London.
