Lahore: David Miller criticized the South African mixture of the International Cricket Council (ICC) after losing his team in the semi -finals of his team in the Champions Cup to New Zealand on Wednesday at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
He referred to the arrangements for scheduling and travel, which he believed negatively affected the performance of the probase, as he expressed his frustration.
Each of the semi -finals of the group B, South Africa and Australia had to travel to Dubai after completing their matches at the group stage, as the semi -final opponent in India remained uncertain until their victory over New Zealand in the third league match.
After India’s victory, South Africa was forced to return to Pakistan against the semi -finals against New Zealand in Lahore, while Australia remained in Dubai to face India.
The left mixture, which recorded a century against New Zealand, criticized the travel schedule, describing it out of idealism.
“It is a trip for an hour and 40 minutes only, but the fact that we had to do so was not perfect,” Miller said.
“It is early in the morning, after a game, and we had to fly. Then we got to Dubai at 4 pm, and at 7:30 am, we had to go back. He did not make it nice. It does not seem as if we were five hours and we had enough time to recover and recover. But it was not an ideal situation.”
The 35-year-old was a prominent performance in South Africa in the semi-finals, with an amazing century of only 67 balls after reaching the sixth-fastest place in the history of the Champions Cup.
He became the first player to reach the teacher in less than 70 balls in the championship, as he broke the 23 -year -old Vireder Sehwag score of 77 -tons against England at Premanasa Stadium in Colombo in 2002.
In addition, Miller became the first South Africa to score two centuries in the stages of the knockout out of the events of the International Criminal Court, as it had previously achieved the achievement against Australia in the 2023 World Cup semi -finals in Aden Gardens in Kolkata.
Despite its championships, South Africa won by a short difference, and lost to New Zealand by 50 runs. New Zealand will now face India in the final at Dubai International Stadium on March 9.
