KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC- Opener Horace Miller, one of five players drafted by Jamaica’s franchise, says he will use the opportunity to enhance his game in the upcoming West Indies Cricket Board Four-day Tournament which commences next month.
The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman was selected as Jamaica’s third-overall pick in the draft behind batsmen, André McCarthy and Shacaya Thomas.
West Indies Under-19 batsman Brandon King and fast bowler Brian Buchanan were also drafted.
“I would not say that I was surprised that I made the draft, as though I did not make many big scores last season, I got starts. It’s just for me now to build on these starts,” said Miller.
“It feels good to know that I have been drafted, as I am now in a position to earn an income on a steady level, while at the same time getting the opportunity to further improve my game.”
An outstanding player for West Indies and Jamaica Under-19, Miller has not been able to make the transition to the senior level.
He averages 16.26 from nine first-class showings and 18.71 from seven regional one-day encounters.
“I have been working hard on trying to improve on making better use of my starts, both in the Senior Cup and 50-overs tournaments,” he said.
