Jamaican left-arm spinner Nikita Miller says he is anxious to return to the cut and thrust of the regional four-day championship, and is hoping his recent international stint with West Indies will serve as personal inspiration for the remaining rounds of the competition.

The 35-year-old played his first one-day international in nearly three years when he turned out in the final game of the three-match series for the west indies against new Zealand on boxing day, which the Caribbean side lost by 66 runs under Duckworth/Lewis.

With three rounds of the first class season remaining, miller said it was important he hit the ground running once he returned to action with Jamaica scorpions. He has been limited to just two first class games, after missing the first three rounds as he recuperated from surgery.

However, he made a huge impact in the two matches he played, snapping up a whopping 23 wickets as scorpions beat Leeward Islands Hurricanes and Windward Islands volcanoes handily, to post their first wins of the season.
