England fast bowler Tymal Mills has made headlines not just for his performances on the cricket pitch, but also for his surprising side hustle – an OnlyFans account. The 31-year-old, known for his express pace in The Hundred and international cricket, has openly discussed how he manages both careers.
Cricket and Content Creation
Mills, who plays for Southern Brave in The Hundred, revealed that his OnlyFans venture began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to connect with fans during lockdowns. "It's been an interesting journey," Mills told reporters. "People might raise eyebrows, but it's just another platform to engage with supporters in a different way."
Balancing Sports and Social Media
The left-arm quick insists his cricket remains the priority: "When I'm with England or at The Hundred, my focus is 100% on performing. The other stuff fits around my training and matches." ECB officials have confirmed they have no issues with players having social media ventures as long as they don't conflict with team commitments.
Changing Landscape for Athletes
Mills' approach highlights how modern athletes are diversifying their income streams. "The career span in fast bowling isn't long," he explained. "You've got to think about life after cricket, and building personal brands is part of that now."
While some traditionalists might disapprove, younger fans have largely supported Mills' entrepreneurial spirit. His openness about the venture has sparked wider conversations about athlete empowerment in the digital age.
