Milton Devasia

Born on 8 April 1987 in the sun-drenched island of Malta, Milton Devasia embarked on a cricketing journey that would see him rise to international acclaim. Surrounded by the gentle Mediterranean waves, it was perhaps an unlikely hotspot for a cricketer's dreams to ignite, but Milton's talent was undeniable even from a tender age. His early days were marked by makeshift matches on the beaches, where his hunger and raw skill set him apart.

Milton’s evolution into a professional cricketer was as unique as the place of his birth. It was in the quaint local leagues that he honed his craft, combining his prowess as a right-handed batsman with versatile bowling skills. His adaptability and keen cricketing acumen caught the eye of scouts and soon catapulted him onto the international stage.

Throughout his career, Milton carved a niche as an all-rounder, potentially the heartbeat of many a team he graced. What set him apart was his uncanny ability to rise to the occasion in crucial matches. Among his many accomplishments, he was instrumental in Malta’s historic victory at the ICC Europe Division 2 Championship, a tournament that would etch his name not only in the sands of Malta but in the annals of cricketing history. His performance in the final, both with the bat and ball, was a testament to his nerves of steel and competitive mindset.

Milton became known for his compelling rivalries, most notably with the fierce side from Gibraltar, a rivalry that lit up the otherwise tranquil Mediterranean cricket scene. In one celebrated encounter, Milton’s blistering knock of 85 runs combined with a four-wicket haul led Malta to a sensational victory, solidifying his status as a legend in his homeland.

His playing style was as vivid as it was effective. With the bat, he wielded a right-hand blade of relentless aggression peppered with an astute ability to anchor an innings when required. As a bowler, his versatility was his greatest weapon; Milton could conjure pace on demand, while also weaving in deceptive spin, ensuring batsmen were perpetually off-kilter.

One cannot discuss Milton’s impact on the game without mentioning the unforgettable moment when he became the first Maltese cricketer to score a century in an international fixture. The crowd erupted in a euphoric chorus, a testament to how far he had propelled Maltese cricket on the world stage.
