Former England fast bowler Tymal Mills, known for his stints with IPL franchises Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI), has taken a surprising turn by launching his own account on the controversial subscription platform, OnlyFans. Unlike what many associate with the site, Mills clarified that his content will focus entirely on cricket and lifestyle, steering clear of any sensational material. The pacer’s goal is to create a space for authentic and behind-the-scenes insights into his sporting journey.
In a statement to The Athletic, Mills was quick to emphasize that there would be “no glamour shots” involved. He described his new venture as a way to dive into “pure cricket and lifestyle material” while offering fans a unique look into his life on and off the pitch. “It’s uncharted territory,” he admitted, “but it’s something I’m really excited about.” His page will largely be free to access, with only select pieces of content hidden behind a paywall.
Mills expressed frustration with how traditional press conferences and media outlets often sanitize or dilute a player’s real thoughts. Through OnlyFans, he hopes to speak more candidly and directly to fans. “Players speak before and after games in the media, but it’s often manicured, generic stuff,” he said. “I can use this platform to talk about what I’m thinking and use footage and images to illustrate the good and bad of life as a cricketer.”
Before fully immersing himself in professional cricket, Mills studied sports journalism and has worked with well-known broadcasters like BBC, Sky Sports, and TalkSPORT. He’s also written newspaper columns, making this transition into digital storytelling a natural extension of his media interests. His background suggests he’s well-equipped to offer thoughtful, engaging content beyond the usual post-match interviews.
Currently representing Southern Brave in The Hundred, Mills has acknowledged that his days in international cricket may be behind him. Rather than dwelling on that chapter, he appears comfortable with the shift, embracing a new path through digital engagement. As he focuses on building his brand on OnlyFans, Mills is aiming to create a space where fans can experience the raw, unfiltered realities of a cricketer’s life—directly from the source.
