Due to a toe injury, Left-handed English pacer, Tymal Mills will be forced to withdraw from the rest of the men's competition in The Hundred. After giving himself time to recover from a toe injury, Mills entered the field on Wednesday night for his team, Southern Brave, in The Hundred 2022. 

However, according to a report in ESPNCricinfo, his toe flared up once more after Wednesday's game, and he was unable to participate in Southern Brave's subsequent game. According to the source, "He underwent surgery on Friday morning and will undergo another treatment on Wednesday, shutting him out of the remainder of the tournament."

The report claims that Mills wants to be prepared for England's tour of Pakistan in September, where they compete in seven Twenty20 International matches, before heading to Australia for three Twenty20 International contests and the Men's T20 World Cup, which will take place from October 16 to November 13. 

The toe problem caused Mills' form to deteriorate during England's home summer. With the exception of the opening Twenty20 International against India at the Ageas Bowl, where he took 1-35 in three overs, Mills missed all of England's domestic white-ball matches due to his painful toe.

Mills was unexpectedly selected for England's team for the Men's T20 World Cup in the UAE thanks to his strong performance for Sussex and Southern Brave the previous year. However, he strained his right thigh during the Super 12 game in Group 1 against Sri Lanka, which prevented him from playing the rest of the competition. 

When an ankle injury forced Mills to withdraw from the Mumbai Indians' IPL 2022 campaign, his injury run continued. For the Rohit Sharma-led team, he had participated in five games, taking six wickets at an economy rate of 11.17. It will be interesting to see if Mills can heal in time and avoid getting hurt in time to compete in the T20 World Cup in Australia.

However, Brave are qualified to sign a replacement for Mills. However, they are having trouble with their fast bowlers' availability. While participating in the tour game against South Africa for the England Lions, Craig Overton complained of back tightness. 

While George Garton is being carefully monitored after suffering through a lengthy Covid, Chris Jordan received a blow to his finger. Brave, having lost their first two games, must win all five of their remaining group games in order to advance to the knockout rounds.
