TYMAL MILLS has spent much of his career battling injury and doubts of others.
But his presence with England's current T20 squad is evidence of victory over both.
However, the fast bowler admits the challenges ahead of him this year could be the biggest yet, namely booking his spot at the World T20 in Australia and showing the Indian Premier League he was no big-money flop.
Mills, 29, became an overnight millionaire in 2017 when he was picked from the auction by Royal Challengers Bangalore for £1.4million - only for injury to cut short his tournament.
Since then he has succeeded in franchise T20 cricket - but has not once put himself back in the IPL auction until this year.
