David Miller putting his hand up for World Cup selection

He does, however, concede that this will be difficult with the amount of talent in the team now and all the players fighting for places.

Miller is back in the squad for the T20 series against India starting tomorrow, having just recovered form a hamstring injury and says he’s yet to have a conversation with coach Shukri Conrad about his future.

"There's a lot of quality players coming through, there is also a massive pool of players to select from. I feel that I can add something unique to the team, which is my experience and expertise, but this conversation will unfold over the coming months."

Miller was part of the Proteas team that lost in the final of the last T20 World Cup against India in Barbados, and would love to erase those memories in a few months’ time.

He revealed that he’s consulted with a few people who have won major tournaments, to try and find out how they can break the hoodoo.

"I don't think there's one recipe to win a World Cup. It takes a group effort, players and management included. I think its all about standing up in those decisive moments."

At 36, Miller is now a veteran of 178 One Day Internationals and has played T20 Internationals on 130 occasions for South Africa.

He says with age comes the need for certain adjustments in order to stay fit and remain competitive.

"In terms of my body, I'm 36 now and I'm feeling that I do have to step up off the field in so many different ways which is exciting. I am focused on being more diligent and consistent in training."

Following the five-match series in India, Miller will return home to link up with his Paarl Royals teammates for the SA20. He says the tournament will play a key role in helping the players sharpen up for the T20 World Cup in February and March.
