The 33-year-ol Miller, who last appeared for West Indies during the ICC World Cup in February, claimed five for 24 while fellow left-arm spinner Gavon Brown picked up four for 30, as Paul Palmer’s XI crashed to 159 all out at Kensington Park.
Former West Indies wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh top-scored with 47 while Andre McCarthy stroked 42.
