Born on 11th June 1996, Martel’s love affair with cricket began at an early age, nurtured in the idyllic surroundings of his hometown. His talent was clear from the start; he was a natural allrounder, showing promise with both bat and ball by the time he was a teenager.

Martel’s cricketing career took a significant leap forward when he was selected for the Guernsey national team in his late teens.

These skills laid the foundation for his future exploits in the sport.

His professional debut came amidst whispers of his potential, which soon turned into roars as he began setting records.
