BBL 2021: England pacer Tymal Mills joins Perth Scorchers- Perth Scorchers on Thursday announced the signing of England pacer Tymal Mills ahead of the upcoming 2021-22 Big Bash League (BBL) season.

Mills will fill the void in Perth’s squad left by fellow capped Englishman Brydon Carse, who was ruled out of the showpiece event after sustaining a serious knee injury last month.

Scorchers head coach Adam Voges is thrilled to have the noteworthy experience and versatility of Mills ahead of the start of BBL.

BBL 2021: “We’re really excited about getting Tymal in after Brydon’s unfortunate injury. To be able to get someone of the calibre of Tymal – we saw the impact he had for England over in the World Cup and his last 12-24 months have been outstanding,” Perth Scorchers website quoted Voges as saying.

BBL 2021: “He’s a world-class performer, and he’ll obviously be really important for us at the back end of the innings. In the death overs, I can see him and AJ Tye being a really good combination,” he added.

A thigh strain had brought Mills’ T20 World Cup to a premature end shortly before the semifinals this year.

The 29-year-old left-armer is excited to be part of Perth’s talented squad and play in what he described as one of the world’s “big competitions”.

“When they got in touch, I was extremely keen. They’re a great franchise with some great players,” said Mills.

“It’s exciting to get the opportunity to play in big competitions, and when you join a new franchise, it’s a great chance to meet new people and get in with a great group of guys,” he added.
