His journey to professional cricket is a tale of unwavering passion and innate talent, honed in the verdant schoolyards and club pitches of his childhood.
From a young age, Sanders demonstrated an impressive aptitude for the game, catching the eye of local scouts with his booming right-hand batting and versatile bowling repertoire. After dazzling performances at local clubs, he was swiftly propelled through the ranks, eventually earning a coveted spot in Somerset's youth academy. His debut for Somerset's senior team in 2018 marked the beginning of a career teeming with potential and promise.
