I have watched it, but I still have pretty much no idea what the hell is going on. Still, it&#8217;s kind of cool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I know enough to tell you that a bowler is essentially cricket&#8217;s version of a pitcher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Mills is also a batsman (self-explanatory), and he had an idea for something he could do with his bat in The Hundred, a professional cricket league that uses a format called 100-ball cricket.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">He decided to put a logo promoting his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/onlyfans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">OnlyFans<\/a> account on his bat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now, this isn&#8217;t that kind of OnlyFans. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/cricket\/articles\/cy98ndye4qeo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BBC<\/a>, Mills insists that his account is safe and that the idea was to give fans &#8220;a closer, more personal look into life as a professional cricketer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2167293437.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"title\">A pro cricket player has been told he&#8217;s not allowed to put the logo promoting his OnlyFans on his bat. \u00a0(Photo by Alex Davidson &#8211; ECB\/ECB via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now, that&#8217;s all well and good, but as you&#8217;re no doubt aware, OnlyFans has a bit of a reputation. Most of the content isn&#8217;t exactly a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a cricketer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Mills needed the approval of the England and Wales Cricket Board, which runs The Hundred, to put the logo on his bat, and as you might expect, they&#8217;re not giving it to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The EWCB, unsurprisingly, is reported to have felt that OnlyFans branding didn&#8217;t jibe with the family-friendly cricket product they&#8217;re trying to put out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">But I think Mills should be commended for his entrepreneurial spirit. I like that he&#8217;s using any opportunity he can to further his side hustle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Just maybe think about switching over to Patreon or some other platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I mean, you&#8217;ve got applaud his entrepreneurial spirit PublishedAugust 12, 2025 7:33 PM EDT\u2022UpdatedAugust 12, 2025 7:33 PM&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-63813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
