Ahead of the 2020 Indian Premier League season, the Rajasthan Royals purchased him in the auction that took place for the Indian Premier League. The Gujarat Titans were the ones who purchased him during the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League competition, which took place in February of that year.

The Dambulla Hawks selected Miller in the draft for the first-ever Lanka Premier League competition, which took place in October 2020. It was confirmed in June 2021 that Miller will be playing for Peshawar Zalmi in the sixth game of the Pakistan Super League. The Welsh Fire purchased him in April of 2022 for the 2022 season of The Hundred in England. This season will take place in England. Miller was given the role of captain of the Barbados Royals for the 2022 season of the Caribbean Premier League in July of 2022.
Miller became a member of the Texas Super Kings squad in June of 2023, just in time for the first season of Major League Cricket. The series that Miller played for South Africa A versus Bangladesh A in May of 2010 earned him a call-up to the national team. Miller finished the series as the second-highest run-scorer for South Africa A. It was on May 20, 2010, in Antigua when Miller made his debut for South Africa in the Twenty20 International competition. The match was against the West Indies.
As South Africa won by a margin of only one run, Miller, who had been called up to replace the injured Jacques Kallis, hit the sixth ball of his innings for six runs and went on to get the highest score of his innings. Two days later, Miller made his debut in one-day internationals, against the West Indies once again. He contributed to South Africa’s victory by scoring 23 runs without being out, which was another strong effort on his part. Miller received a selection to participate in Zimbabwe’s tour of South Africa, during which he contributed to the South Africans’ stunning win in both the One-Day International and Twenty20 versions of the game.
