Matthew Edward Milnes (born 29 July 1994) is an English professional cricketer who currently plays for Kent County Cricket Club, having returned in 2026 from Yorkshire.[1] Milnes was born in Nottingham and grew up in the city[2][3][4] and attended West Bridgford School in the city before going to Durham University.[1] A seam bowler,[5] he was part of the Nottinghamshire Academy programme[2] before making his first-class cricket debut in April 2014 for Durham MCC University against Derbyshire.[1] He received a Half-Palatinate for his cricketing activities at university.[6]

Whilst at university Milnes played for Durham Second XI in 2013 and 2014 and for Nottinghamshire's Second XI from 2016.[7][8] After graduating from university he initially signed a three-month contract with Nottinghamshire in June 2017 after impressing the club with his performances for the Second XI.[9] At the end of the season he attracted interest from Durham before signing a one-year deal with Nottinghamshire.[2][10] He made his Nottinghamshire debut in June 2018 before going on to play six times for the county during the season, taking 11 wickets.[11]

In September 2018 he signed a three-year contract with Kent for the start of the 2019 season despite being offered a contract extension by Nottinghamshire,[5][10] making his Kent debut in the county's first match of the 2019 season against Loughborough MCCU. He made his List A cricket debut on 17 April 2019, taking a five-wicket haul on debut for Kent against Hampshire in the 2019 Royal London One-Day Cup.[12] After having been signed as a replacement for Welsh Fire during the 2021 season of The Hundred, in April 2022 Milnes was drafted by Oval Invincibles for the 2022 season.[13][14]

After taking 193 wickets in 94 appearances for Kent, including 126 in first-class matches, Milnes signed for Yorkshire ahead of the 2023 season.[15][16][17] He played for Yorkshire for three seasons, although a number of back injuries restricted his appearances. He had only played five County Championship matches for Yorkshire before, in August 2025, he agreed to rejoin Kent for the following season.[17][18]
