From the sun-drenched cricket grounds of Bermuda to international pitches, Oronde Bascome's cricketing journey is a tale of passion, perseverance, and skill. Born on the 8th of March in 1988, this natural right-handed batsman discovered his love for cricket in the charming lanes of St. George’s, where youthful enthusiasm met raw talent. Encouraged by his family, Oronde spent his formative years perfecting his craft in local clubs, quickly carving out a reputation as a batsman of immense promise. His right-arm fast-medium bowling added another feather to his cap, making him a versatile player known for his agility and strategic acumen.

Taking the crease with an assertive stance and a calm demeanour, he soon became a linchpin in the batting order.
