The versatile left-arm speedster was selected in Perth’s 15-player squad after the Scorchers were informed this morning that he’d be available.
Mills will then fly home on Friday to prepare for England’s white ball tour of the West Indies later this month.
Perth’s fast-bowling stocks have also been bolstered by crafty right-armer Matt Kelly, who returned a negative PCR test for COVID-19 after serving a precautionary isolation period.
Kelly has accumulated eight wickets in three 2021-22 KFC Big Bash League games, to date.
The contest between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder is slated to start at 6:15pm, WST.
