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. In May 2017, Milne signed for
Kent County Cricket Club to play the second half of the
2017 English cricket season. Milne had been due to play for
Essex in the
2016 season but was forced to withdraw due to injury. 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. 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 In February 2021, Milne was bought by the
Mumbai Indians ahead of the
2021 Indian Premier League and in June returned to Kent for the
2021 T20 Blast, his fourth spell with the county. He took a
hat-trick during the competition against
Surrey from the final three balls of the match. In August 2021, Milne was named as injury cover in New Zealand's squad for the
2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. 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. In April 2022, he was bought by the
Birmingham Phoenix for the
2022 season of
The Hundred in England. In March 2023, Milne was named in New Zealand's T20I squad for their series
against Sri Lanka. On 5 April 2023, he took his maiden
five-wicket haul in international cricket, helping his team win the second T20I by 9 wickets. 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. He returned later that month
against Bangladesh, taking four wickets in the only match he played. ==References==
