England cricketer blocked from promoting OnlyFans in The Hundred
England fast bowler
Tymal Mills
has been denied permission by the England and Wales Cricket Board to display his OnlyFans account logo on his bat during The Hundred cricket tournament in August 2025.
Mills, who has played 16 T20 internationals and was part of England's 2022 World Cup-winning squad, joined the subscription platform to share content about his life as a professional cricketer.
The 33-year-old left-arm fast bowler has not displayed the OnlyFans logo in his two appearances in The Hundred this season. The ECB's decision stems from OnlyFans not aligning with the family-friendly nature of The Hundred tournament.

When announcing his platform membership, Mills stated: "It's all about sharing my passion with you in a new way." He further emphasized that his channel would give subscribers "a closer, more personal look into life as a professional cricketer."
Mills, who holds the record as the leading all-time men's wicket-taker in The Hundred, maintains that the material on his OnlyFans channel is "completely safe."
The fast bowler has already made significant contributions in the current tournament, demonstrating his value to the Southern Brave team.

Poll
Should sports leagues allow athletes to promote their personal brands on platforms like OnlyFans?
Yes, it's their personal choice.
No, it conflicts with the league's image.
It depends on the content shared.
While OnlyFans is widely known for hosting adult content, it is not exclusively dedicated to such material. The platform supports various content creators across different fields and interests.
This situation mirrors a similar case from May 2025, where British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals faced suspension from competition. Rozentals, who competes in individual canoe slalom, was suspended by Paddle UK following concerns about his social media posts, forcing him to choose between his Olympic aspirations and his OnlyFans account.
Mills is reported to understand the ECB's decision regarding the logo display restriction. The ruling reflects the growing intersection between professional sports, personal branding, and content creation platforms, as athletes explore new ways to connect with their audience and diversify their income streams.
The ECB's stance emphasizes their commitment to maintaining The Hundred's family-friendly image, even as professional athletes increasingly engage with various social media and content platforms to build their personal brands and connect with fans in new ways.
This development occurs as The Hundred continues its mission to attract new audiences to cricket, particularly families and young fans, while balancing the evolving landscape of professional sports and digital content creation.

What is Myasthenia Gravis? Monica Seles opens up after rare disease diagnosis
Monica Seles has opened up about her battle with myasthenia gravis , a rare neuromuscular autoimmune disease that has altered her life to a great extent. The nine-time Grand Slam champion compared the experience of adapting to this 'new normal' to the difficult period she endured after being stabbed by a spectator during a tournament in Hamburg, Germany, in 1993. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Seles recalled the moment she first noticed symptoms of the disease. While playing tennis with a group of children, she was startled to realise she was seeing two balls coming towards her.

I was like, Yeah, I see two balls.' These are obviously symptoms that you can't ignore," Seles said. "And, for me, this is when this journey started. And it took me quite some time to really absorb it, speak openly about it, because it's a difficult one. It affects my day-to-day life quite a lot." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo The 51-year-old Seles, who claimed her first Grand Slam title at just 16 at the 1990 French Open and last competed professionally in 2003, revealed that she was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis three years ago. Speaking publicly about the condition for the first time, Seles chose to share her story ahead of the upcoming US Open, beginning August 24, in hopes of raising awareness about the disease, commonly referred to as MG. Live Events — TennisONEApp (@TennisONEApp) What is Myasthenia Gravis? The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke describes myasthenia gravis as 'a chronic neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in voluntary muscles, most often affecting young adult women under 40 and older men over 60, though it can appear at any age, even in childhood. The troubling symptoms include weakness in the arm and leg muscles, double vision, fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty speaking, and swallowing. It has been 30 years since Seles made her emotional return to competition at the 1995 US Open, reaching the final more than two years after she was stabbed by a man during a tournament in Hamburg, Germany. Now, as she faces myasthenia gravis, Seles describes her life as another chapter of adaptation - learning to embrace a 'new normal' and adjust to each challenge as it comes. "I had to, in tennis terms, I guess, reset - hard reset - a few times. I call my first hard reset when I came to the U.S. as a young 13-year-old (from Yugoslavia). Didn't speak the language; left my family. It's a very tough time. Then, obviously, becoming a great player, it's a reset, too, because the fame, money, the attention, changes (everything), and it's hard as a 16-year-old to deal with all that. Then obviously my stabbing - I had to do a huge reset," Seles told news agency AP.

Cincinnati Open: Carlos Alcaraz picks 50th win of the year before adverse weather disrupts schedule
Carlos Alcaraz celebrates his win at the Cincinnati Open. (Image: X) Carlos Alcaraz beat the heat and humidity of a Midwest summer as the world number two advanced to the fourth round of the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Open on Tuesday. The Spaniard moved through hours before an evening rainstorms and lightning spoiled the night-time scenario, leaving men's and women's third seeds stranded in third round matches. Alexander Zverev was set to serve for the match against Brandon Nakashima, leading the American 6-4, 5-4 when the match was forced off court by the threat of lightning.. It was a similar situation for American Jessica Pegula, fighting back against Pole Magda Linette who won the first set 7-6 (7/5), before last year's finalist claimed the second 6-3. Toronto champion Ben Shelton never got on court against Roberto Bautista Agut due to rainstorm conditions that forced officials to call it a night early. Second seed Alcaraz kept his exposure to a minimum in 32 Celsius conditions, taking an efficient 95 minutes to dispatch Serb Hamad Medjedovic 6-4, 6-4, for his 50th match win of the year. "Medjedovic doesn't like to run that much, so I tried to move him around as much as possible," Alcaraz said. "But it was difficult with the ball flying so much and his shots coming so fast. I tried to defend in a good way." Alcaraz has been on a tear in 2025 as he chases Jannik Sinner in the ATP rankings, and now owns 13 straight victories at the Masters 1000 level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo He will play for the quarter-finals against Luca Nardi after the Italian defeated Jakob Mensik 6-2, 2-1 with the Czech retiring after 42 minutes. Five-time Grand Slam winner Alcaraz, who is preparing for the approaching US Open start, added: "I was really happy to get the win in a very difficult match. "The season is very long and in at least half of your matches you don't feel that good (physically). "But you have to stay positive and play your best tennis on the day. I'm proud about that. It's a goal of the season." Toronto finalist Karen Khachanov, earned a 6-3, 6-3 win over Jenson Brooksby. Francisco Comesano and Reilly Opelka both felt the heat of their mid-day match, which was interrupted for 45 minutes by rain, as the Argentine limped to a 6-7 (4/7), 6-4, 7-5 win while saving three match points. Comesano needed a medical time out midway through the second set, but came back out to continue what turned into a fight of nearly three hours against the American. Opelka called for the doctor just moments from his eventual loss, complaining of dizziness and high blood pressure after being broken for 5-6 in the final set. After a quick consultation at his chair, Opelka was back on court to weakly scoop a return into the net on his opponent's second match point. The 71st-ranked South American will face ninth seed Andrey Rublev, who beat Australian Alexei Popyrin 6-7 (5/7), 7-6 (7/5), 7-5. Opelka, noted for his big serve, fired 27 aces but also committed nearly 60 unforced errors. Comesano broke on four of his 13 chances. He is the first Argentine into the Cincy round of 16 since Diego Schwartzman in 2022. Gauff wins by walkover In the WTA draw, second seed Coco Gauff eased into the fourth round when opponent Dayana Yastremska withdrew before their Tuesday match. The American, who won the 2023 Cincinnati title and followed up with a US Open crown, will await an opponent from former Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko and Italian Lucia Bronzetti. Yastremska was unable to play due to illness, the WTA said. Seventh seed Jasmine Paolini, last season's Roland Garros and Wimbledon finalist, defeated American Ashlyn Krueger 7-6, (7/2), 6-1 while German qualifier Ella Seidel continued her strong showing with a 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (8/6) defeat of McCartney Kessler.
