British fast bowler Tymal Mills, known for his explosive pace on the cricket field, won't be flaunting the OnlyFans logo during his matches. Despite launching his own account on the platform, Mills has hit a regulatory roadblock. The England and Wales Cricket Board has decided not to allow the OnlyFans logo on any part of Mills' uniform, according to BBC Sport. It seems the logo doesn't fit the "family-friendly nature" of the sport's image, particularly during his recent appearance in The Hundred tournament.
Mills, who is 33, seems to be taking the decision in stride. He had revealed his OnlyFans venture earlier in August, promising fans a personal peek into the life of a professional cricketer. His account aims to offer exclusive content like "1-to-1 coaching and mentoring opportunities" and "completely unfiltered" insights, both pre- and post-match, as well as sharing "personal moments" from his journey.
Despite the initial branding setback, Mills is optimistic about his OnlyFans journey. "It’s completely safe for work content and all about sharing my passion with you in a new way," he assured his followers on Instagram. Mills is clear – he won't be partaking in the platform's more risqué offerings. "I know exactly what people might think," he told The Telegraph. "But I’ll be putting stuff out that is about cricket, and maybe a little bit of lifestyle content, too."
“I’m doing this late in my career, so I have a lot I can talk about. I want to talk about the game, be a bit more vulnerable, exposing what is going on behind the scenes, in my mind,” Mills shared.
He has emphasized that his content will focus on the game of cricket, enhanced by personal reflections and insights aimed at deepening fans' understanding.
Mills is charting new territory as the first cricket player to join OnlyFans. He acknowledges that the platform is branching into team sports, with aspirations to include Premier League footballers. "They’re doing well with ‘smaller’ sports like surfing and skateboarding," Mills noted. He is enthusiastic about introducing his sport to a wider audience, aiming to educate fans through detailed video clips and training footage.
"Fans watch the games in the ground or on TV but they don’t know exactly what is going on in the mind," he explained. Mills plans to demystify the highs and lows of being an athlete, offering fans a rare glimpse into what it takes to succeed on and off the field.
