England fast bowler Tymal Mills will not be allowed to display a logo promoting his OnlyFans account on his bat during The Hundred Men's 2025. While OnlyFans is widely known for hosting adult content, Mills, the leading all-time men’s wicket-taker in the competition, has stressed that his channel contains entirely safe, non-explicit material.

Mills joined OnlyFans last week, saying his content will offer fans a closer, more personal look into the life of a professional cricketer. He described it as all about sharing his passion with the fans in a new way, while focusing his content around health and lifestyle to his followers on the platform.

Although he has featured in two matches this season without the logo, any such branding would require approval from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), permission of which will not be granted. According to BBC Sport, the ECB believes the OnlyFans brand does not align with the family-friendly image of The Hundred and Mills is understood to accept the decision.

England’s Tymal Mills becomes first cricketer on OnlyFans

The left-arm pacer, who was part of England’s T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2022, impressed in Southern Brave’s opening match last week, taking 3-22 and scoring a crucial six runs in a one-wicket win over Manchester Originals.

This is not the first time an athlete’s OnlyFans activity has caused controversy. In May, British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals, who competes in the individual canoe slalom, was suspended by governing body Paddle UK after allegations about his social media content. Rozentals claimed he was being forced to choose between his Olympic ambitions and his OnlyFans account.

“Just to be a thousand percent 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. There's no hiding from the fact they are best known for porn. But what I'll be doing will be far from that. When you lift the lid and speak to them and understand where they want to go and what the potential is, it really is exciting,” Mills said earlier about the decision to join the platform.

The left-arm pacer has picked up three wickets in his two outings of the marquee English tournament so far. He has also scored eight runs with the bat.
