Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
It was a touching story. It really is. The journey from being a raw, erratic bowler to earning a contract with one of the richest sport leagues going around. Tymal Mills didn't choose cricket. It's the other way around. Was introduced to the sport by a family friend when he was 13, and soon fell in love with bowling. He was an intimidating figure, of course, for his lethal pace during his grade cricket. Some lads just refused to play against him. What crime did Mills commit? Bowling pace at full-throttle.
Mills was captained by Richard Cross at Tuddenham. In an interview with The Telegraph, Cross described Mills' early days as 'raw' A fitting testimony to Mills' pace would be this: 'My dad used to say you should have all 10 fielders behind the wicket for Tymal with two third men because people were not going to hit him in front of the bat because he was too quick,' Cross said.
Like many young talents, Mills took his own, sweet while to tick all the boxes to justify his fuzzy fame. After a mix of wayward and inconsistent stints during his early days, Mills gave up journalism to pursue a career in cricket at Essex by the age of 19. He made steady progress at the academy which helped him represent England U-19, before his championship debut, which came in 2011.
During 2013-14 Ashes, when Mitchell Johnson was tormenting England, a few fanatics suggested the inclusion of a certain Tymal Mills, in a bid to fight fire with fire. Mills was taken to Australia to help his side in getting accustomed to the bustling pace of left-arm quick Mitch Johnson. Midway of the series, It was whispered that he nearly broke Graeme Swann's arm while bowling in the nets.
Following a skimpy Championship season in 2014 with Essex, Mills switched to Sussex to fast-track his career. Although, he continued to be in the fringes of England Lions' squad, Mills was diagnosed with a congenital back problem in 2015 which prevented him from playing the longer form. Just as most champions do, Mills, traced a ray of light in shambolic bubble as he mustered courage and tenacity to lord all sorts of variations the T20 cricket demands.
He made his debut against Sri Lanka at Southampton on 5 July 2016 and soon became a familiar face on TV by sparkling in various (T20) leagues across the globe. He also got a great chance to prove his claim just before the 2017 IPL auctions. Mills featured in all three T20I games against India and managed 3 wickets at an acceptable economy rate.
Mills had to pinch himself to soak in all the attention he got on 20 February 2016, a day that he wouldn't dare to forget; A 1.4 million USD contract to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore knocked his door. Tymal Mills is a near perfect example of what one can achieve despite the limitations life sets physically. After all, it's a mental game out there. And yes Mills can bowl slow too.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Tymal Mills won an England recall for the 2021 T20 World Cup after four-and-a-half years in the international wilderness, during which time regular injuries had threatened his career. Mills, one of the most explosive fast bowlers in English cricket and an innovative thinker about the short-form game, was diagnosed with a congenital back condition in 2015 - his spinal cord and vertebrae are unusually close together and bowling fast too often can agitate his spinal cord - which consigned him to a career as a T20 specialist but he embraced life on the franchise circuit.
Mills only started playing cricket when he was 14 - and it was another two years before it became a serious part of his life - but by the age of 19 had forced his way into the Essex first team, abandoning a journalism cause at the University of East London in the process. He progressed through the academy set-up at Essex and represented England Under-19s and his Championship debut came midway through the 2011 season. By then the National Academy scouts had taken notice and that winter he was fast-tracked on to the Performance Programme, before playing for the Lions on their tour of Bangladesh.
Mills' workload was carefully managed, but he attracted considerable hype: before turning 20, he topped 90mph in front of the Sky TV cameras; then, with Mitchell Johnson terrorising England during the 2013-14 Ashes, there were calls for Mills to be fast-tracked to the Test side to provide similar firepower (he had been used for practise against left-arm bowling in the nets and almost put Graeme Swann out of the tour when her struck him on the arm). A record of six Championship wickets at 66.33 in the 2013 season counted against him and, even though development continued with the Lions in Sri Lanka, he left Essex at the end of another mediocre season in 2014 to join Sussex in the hope that it would galvanise his career so that the statistics began to meet England's hopes.
Then came the revelation that his future would be in short-form cricket, a diagnosis that he learned to handle with equanimity - even more so when he won an England debut in 2016 against Sri Lanka. Three stand-out performances for England against India led to Royal Challengers Bangalore recruiting him for £1.4m in the 2017 auction and while an injury cut his season short, he became a regular on the global T20 treadmill.
England opted to leave him out of their T20I plans over the next few years. "Due to his fitness background we probably wouldn't consider him until a World Cup year… we feel like getting a long string of games together and having a set plan could be a better plan than travelling more, maybe playing or not playing," Eoin Morgan explained in 2018. But injuries limited his chances to impress and his long-term fitness meant that he struggled to train in between playing appearances.
Things reached a head when he spent the 2020-21 winter wearing a back brace for 12 weeks following another stress fracture, but he starred in the Blast and the Hundred in 2021 by showcasing his skill at the death - batters struggled to pick his slower balls, but could not set themselves for them since he still regularly hit 90mph/145kph, and he defied conventional wisdom by favouring back-of-a-length balls rather than yorkers. Morgan had namechecked him earlier in the summer as a World Cup bolter and Jofra Archer's injury opened up a spot in the squad for him.
