Tymal Mills, the England international fast bowler and former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player, has become the first professional cricketer to create an OnlyFans account, marking an unusual career move.

Mills emphasized that his content on OnlyFans will focus solely on cricket and lifestyle rather than any adult or glamour material. Although the platform is known for its adult content, the England pacer says he will be using it for a different purpose, which will keep him connected with the fans.

He stated, "Just to be a thousand per cent clear, there will be no glamour shots. This is all about pure cricket and lifestyle material. It's uncharted territory, but it's something I'm really excited about."

He acknowledged the platform's reputation for adult content but clarified, "There's no hiding from the fact they are best known for p***, but what I'll be doing will be far from that".

Mills revealed the intent behind his OnlyFans venture is to provide fans with a closer, unfiltered connection to the life of a professional cricketer, beyond typical media appearances. "You can have that direct contact with fans and people who want to hear from you," he said. "Players speak before and after games in the media, but it's often manicured, generic stuff. 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".

Additionally, Mills shared that subscribing to his OnlyFans will be free, with certain exclusive content available for payment. "We're still thrashing that out, but to subscribe will be free and then you will have to pay for certain pieces of content... I'm not looking to price people out," he explained.

In a related statement to City AM, Mills said the OnlyFans platform suits athletes well, giving them a chance to engage directly with their audience and even pursue coaching advice sessions. "People I've spoken to so far, you make it very clear what I'm doing on the platform and it's just going to be cricket and lifestyle content," he said. "OnlyFans can help with that, financially but also it's more good practice in front of camera, talking, presenting - that side of things as well".

Mills is actively playing for Southern Brave in The Hundred tournament, and with this OnlyFans partnership, he is set to become the first cricketer to promote the OnlyFans logo on his cricket bat during matches. He was also part of RCB and Mumbai Indians in the IPL over the years, thus playing alongside India legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
