A hugely consistent performer in the domestic game - he holds an extraordinary first-class record, even in an era of dubious West Indian batting quality and where spin dominates - Miller earned his first chance at international level in 2008 after being the leading wicket-taker in the 2007-08 domestic season. Since then he has failed to cement a permanent spot, but neither has he drifted off the scene as West Indies have tried a wide collection of spinners. His Test debut, and so far only appearance, came in 2009 when he was one of a host of players called up when senior names boycotted the St Vincent Test against Bangladesh over a contract dispute. As a spinner, at international level he relies more on changes of pace than ripping spin to gain his wickets, and holds respectable economy rate in ODIs. He featured in the 2011 World Cup and gained late selection for the 2015 event following the withdrawal of Sunil Narine
