Adrian Dimitri Mascarenhas (born 30 October 1977 in Chiswick) is an English cricketer of Sri Lankan Tamil heritage. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. He currently plays county cricket for Hampshire County Cricket Club, in the Indian Premier League for the Rajasthan Royals and for the Otago Volts in New Zealand state cricket. In the inaugral Champions League Twenty20, he represented the Otago Volts as his other teams failed to qualify. He holds the record for most runs for England in an over in a One Day International with 30, scored against India off Yuvraj Singh on 5 September 2007, at The Oval, London.

Early life

Mascarenhas was born to Malik Mascarenhas and his wife, Pauline (née de Croos). He grew up in Perth, Australia. He attended school at Trinity College, Perth; school alumni include Australian international cricketers Simon Katich, Tim Zoehrer, and Craig Serjeant. In 1996 Mascarenhas returned to England to pursue a professional cricket career.

Cricket career

Early Cricket

Mascarenhas had great success in Australian junior cricket, captaining Western Australia at Under-17 and Under-19 level state level competition.

Domestic career

County Cricket

Returning to England and joining Hampshire he continued in excellent form, with 6-88 on debut (the best figures for a Hampshire debutant since Teddy Wynyard made 6-63 in August 1899). He then proceeded to make the first Rose Bowl century against Worcestershire in 2001. In 2004, he was the first player to record a hat trick in Twenty20 cricket, claiming the wickets of Mark Davis, Mushtaq Ahmed and Jason Lewry of Sussex. He was part of the Hampshire team that won the C&G Trophy in 2005 and to finish runners-up in the Frizzell County Championship. In 2006, it was announced that Mascarenhas would receive a benefit year during the 2007 season as a reward for his excellent all round play for the county.

Following Shane Warnes retirement at the end of the 2007 season, for the 2008 County Championship season Mascarenhas was made club captain. During the 2009 County Championship Mascarenhas missed the first matches of the season while on Indian Premier League duty with the Rajasthan Royals. On his return he led Hampshire to the final of the 2009 Friends Provident Trophy at Lord's where Hampshire beat local rivals Sussex by 6 wickets.

Indian Premier League

Mascarenhas signed in 2008 for the Rajasthan Royals of the Indian Premier League. Following the ECB's decision to not allow centrally-contracted England players to play in this tournament, Mascarenhas was the only English representative in the tournament's inaugurative year.

Mascarenhas returned for 2009 Indian Premier League, once again playing for the Rajasthan Royals. He played 5 matches taking 6 wickets at an average of 6.82 per wicket.

Otago Volts

In 2008, Mascarenhas signed for the Otago Volts in the New Zealand State Twenty20 and State Shield competitions. Mascarenhas represented the Otago Volts in the 2009 Champions League Twenty20 after Rajasthan and Hampshire failed to qualify.

International career

Hampshire's Australian county captain Shane Warne publicly highlighted Mascarenhas' tremendous ability and issued a call for him to be rewarded with selection in the England One Day International (ODI) team. On 13 September 2006 he wrote in The Times: "It amazes me that England have never given him a chance in the one-day side. He is the best finisher with the bat in all situations in the country and his bowling is clever and accurate".[1]

He subsequently made his ODI début on the 1 July 2007 at Lord's versus the West Indies, scoring 2 runs and completing 4 overs for 18 runs.[2] On 5 September 2007, in an ODI against India, he hit five consecutive sixes off the final five balls of England's innings, which were bowled by Yuvraj Singh. On 8 September 2007 he took 3/23 off 10 overs as England won the one-day series 4-3, on the same day he was also called up to England's ICC World Twenty20 squad as a replacement for Ryan Sidebottom.[3] During England's one day series in New Zealand he hit 4 consecutive sixes against New Zealand in a Twenty20 match.
