Tymal Mills knows exactly which question will be asked when revealing he has joined the social media platform OnlyFans. Will he, to put it delicately, be displaying his fine leg or even his middle stump to the world?
“Just to be a thousand per cent clear,” says the first cricketer to link up with a website better known for pornography than sporting prowess, “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.”
Mills is certainly taking a step into the unknown by joining a subscription service that, until now, has been better known for the sexual exploits of Bonnie Blue or even the opportunity to pay to look at pictures of Lily Allen’s feet.
But OnlyFans claims there are as many professional athletes as porn stars on the platform, with tennis player Nick Kyrgios perhaps the most famous. Now it is moving into team sports, with the Sussex left-arm fast bowler their cricketing pioneer.
