David Millns
David James Millns (born 27 February 1965) is a first class cricket umpire and English former professional cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, Leicestershire County Cricket Club, Tasmania and Boland. Millns was a fast bowler, and a lower order batsman who was part of two championship winning sides with Leicestershire, in 1996 and 1998.[1] Playing careerHis career spanned from 1988 until 2001. He is one of only a few cricketers in modern times to score a century and take ten wickets in the same county championship match (v Essex 1996).[2] Having been told he would be playing for England against Pakistan at the Oval in 1992 he broke a bone in his foot and was not officially selected. Millns toured Australia with the England 'A' side that winter, although he had more success with the ball in one-day matches than in the first-class matches.[3] He was Leicestershire's leading wicket taker (and the sixth nationally) in 1994, taking 76 wickets at 25.01,[4] with many cricket writers believing he should have gone to Australia for the 1994/95 Ashes tour. His best all round season came in 1996, when he took 73 wickets and scored 424 runs.[5] Umpiring careerIn 2007, he was selected in the reserve list as a first class umpire (cricket)|umpire for the season of 2008 by ECB.[6] In 2008, he was promoted to the first class umpire's list.[7] He stood as an umpire in the 2014–16 ICC Women's Championship.[8] He was selected as one of the two foreign umpires in the 2019–20 Bangladesh Premier League.[9] Since then, he officiates matches regularly in Bangladesh Premier League.
