Wasim Akram makes shocking revelation about David Miller
Wasim Akram during a live discussion on Pakistan Super League made a big revelation about the South African cricketer’s marriage.
“I found out today because we were discussing who won the BPL and we weren’t following it because of the PSL. David Miller was offered $150,000 to play the final three games. He postponed his wedding,” Akram said on ‘The Pavillion’ show after Monday’s PSL 2024 match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings.
Prior to the BPL, Miller led the Paarl Royals in the SA20, who finished third in the table. They reached the knockouts and lost the Qualifiers against the Joburg Super Kings. He will next be seen playing for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024. He played an important role in the Titans winning their first IPL title in 2022.
Miller married his fiancée and longtime girlfriend, Camilla Harris, in Cape Town on Sunday. The event was attended by friends and family, including several of Miller’s teammates such as Aiden Markram, Quinton De Kock and Mark Boucher. Camilla is a professional polo player and was seen cheering on Miller during his stint with GT in the IPL 2023 season.
