Dylan Mullen's journey into the world of cricket is as inspiring as it is unpredictable, embodying the essence of a young dynamo who steadily rose through the ranks. Born on New Year’s Day in 2000 in the historic city of Bristol, cricket was not just a sport but an integral component of his illustrious family's heritage. From playing in his grandfather’s backyard, fuelled by childhood dreams, to stepping onto grass-laden pitches, Mullen transformed himself into a formidable bowler.

Mullen's cricketing odyssey began in earnest during his school years, making it soon evident he was no ordinary talent. Clubs quickly snapped him up; his sharp, unpredictable bowling made heads turn.
