Basil Scaria

Born on 17th March 1987 on the picturesque island of Malta, Basil Scaria embarked on a cricketing journey that would transcend borders and set new benchmarks in the sport. Raised in a region where cricket was more passion than profession, the odds of pursuing a cricketing career were formidable. Yet, from the streets of Valletta where he first nurtured his skills, to the international circuits, Basil Scaria's story is one of grit and tenacity.

Scaria’s early years were spent honing his skills as a fast bowler, a pursuit that saw him perfect the art of right-arm fast-medium bowling.

In his tenure as a professional cricketer, Scaria’s skilful bowling has shattered records and dismantled batting orders. Notably, it was during the late summer of 2015 that he achieved his finest figures of 7 wickets for just 28 runs against a leading team, sealing his reputation as a formidable force on the field.

Major rivalries often spotlight careers, and for Basil Scaria, the contests against the neighbouring teams frequently featured fiercely competitive encounters. The 2018 series, where Scaria delivered several match-defining spells, remains etched in the memories of cricket enthusiasts.

Though primarily deemed a specialist bowler, Scaria never underestimated the importance of batting. As a right-hand batter, he could hold the fort, particularly during those crucial tail-end partnerships, making his presence invaluable down the order. His resilience was never more evident than in the nail-biting final of the 2019 league, where his tenacious unbeaten 22 runs steered his team to a thrilling victory.
