The conflict for players to pick between international and franchise cricket is ever-growing, with several cricketing stars opting for cash-rich T20 leagues instead of national duties, which has been evident in the recent past with South Africa's tour of New Zealand.

Now, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has revealed the reason behind David Miller's postponement of his marriage with long-time girlfriend Camilla Harris during an episode of The Pavillion while doing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 coverage.

Akram stated that Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise Fortune Barisal paid Miller an extra 15,000 USD to feature in three matches, which included the tournament final against Comilla Victorians.

"I just found out today because we were discussing who won the BPL as we were not following because of the PSL. David Miller was offered $150,000 to play three matches. He postponed his wedding,"  Wasim Akram.

The topic of Miller arose after the panel which included former Pakistan skippers Mohammed Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali along with Akram talked about how international stars could be attracted more towards PSL with the ever-growing competition. 

The hard-hitting South African middle-order batter managed just 47 runs in three matches, which include 8 not-out in the final, where Barisal's won by 6 wickets chasing 155. 

Miller will soon be seen featuring in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, where the batter will turn up for Gujarat Titans.
