Kyle David Mills (born 15 March 1979) is a New Zealand cricket coach and former international cricketer who is the former bowling coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders.[1] He was also a former captain of the New Zealand cricket team in limited-overs matches.[2] Mills played top-class cricket between 1998 and 2015 as a bowler. He featured in three World Cup tournaments for New Zealand in 2003, 2011 and 2015. He was a member of New Zealand's first ever T20I team. He also topped the ICC ODI bowling rankings in 2009 and also occupied in the top ten bowling rankings among bowlers in ODI cricket for a considerable period of time.[3][4] He was also a part of the New Zealand squad to finish as runners-up at the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
He is the second leading wicket-taker for New Zealand in ODI cricket with 240 wickets just behind Daniel Vettori's tally of 297 wickets and he has also taken the most number of wickets by a New Zealand seamer in ODIs.[5] He is also the all-time leading wicket-taker in ICC Champions Trophy with 28 scalps in 15 matches.[6][7] He was sidelined for consistent injury concerns in his playing days. He underwent surgeries and rehabilitation to recover from knee and shoulder injuries during his early and latter stages of his international career.[8][9] His continuous injury concerns took a toll on his test career which ended prematurely in 2009 after appearing in just 19 test matches.[10] However, he served a white ball specialist and emerged as a lead strike bowler for New Zealand.[11]
