Early life

Milne was born in Palmerston North, New Zealand [1] and attended Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School, and then Palmerston North Boys' High School.

Cricket career

Milne made his first-class cricket debut as an 18 year old for Central Districts in the 2009/10 season against Canterbury. He took a wicket with his second ball in senior cricket. [1] He has played for the team throughout his professional career, although his appearances have been limited by injuries and by international duties. [1]

He was recruited for the 2015 Indian Premier League by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) but was unable to play due to injury; he did play for RCB in both the 2016 and 2017 editions of the tournament. [2] In May 2017, Milne signed for Kent County Cricket Club to play the second half of the 2017 English cricket season. [3] Milne had been due to play for Essex in the 2016 season but was forced to withdraw due to injury. [3] He made his debut for Kent in the 2017 County Championship against Nottinghamshire in June 2017. [4] He played in five Championship matches and seven matches in the 2017 NatWest t20 Blast for Kent, taking 28 wickets. He set a new record for Kent's best bowling in T20 matches with 5/11 taken against Somerset at Taunton in August, his best T20 bowling figures. [5] He returned to play for Kent in both the 2018 and 2019 t20 Blast.

Milne debuted for the New Zealand Cricket Team in 2010 and, although expensive, his pace impressed critics [1] who marked him as a long-term prospect for the national team[ citation needed ] who could bowl in excess of 150 km/h. [1] In May 2018, he was one of twenty players to be awarded a new contract for the 2018–19 season by New Zealand Cricket. [6]

In February 2021, Milne was bought by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League [7] and in June returned to Kent for the 2021 T20 Blast, his fourth spell with the county. [8] He took a hat-trick during the competition against Surrey from the final three balls of the match. [9] In August 2021, Milne was named as injury cover in New Zealand's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. [10]

In February 2022, he was bought by the Chennai Super Kings in the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League tournament but was ruled out after a few matches. [11] In April 2022, he was bought by the Birmingham Phoenix for the 2022 season of The Hundred in England. [12]

In March 2023, Milne was named in New Zealand's T20I squad for their series against Sri Lanka. [13] On 5 April 2023, he took his maiden five-wicket haul in international cricket, [14] helping his team win the second T20I by 9 wickets. [15]

In September 2023, Milne was ruled out of the ODI series against England, due to a hamstring injury that occurred during a training session, effectively ruling out chances of him making the World Cup squad. [16] He returned later that month against Bangladesh, taking four wickets in the only match he played. [17]
