Scorchers’ Mills out of BBL over emergency

England seamer Tymal Mills has withdrawn from a planned stint in the Big Bash League due to a “family emergency”.

Mills, part of Jos Buttler’s triumphant T20 World Cup squad earlier this year, was due to return to Perth Scorchers having made seven appearances in their title-winning campaign last season but he’s been forced to pull out.

A club statement read: “Perth Scorchers fast bowler Tymal Mills will not be available for the 2022/23 KFC Big Bash League season due to a family emergency.

“Mills was recruited by Perth in the inaugural BBL12 Draft after playing an important role during the Scorchers’ title-winning BBL11 campaign.

“The club fully supports Mills’ decision, and sends its thoughts and best wishes to his family during this time.
