Biography

A product of the modern game, Dimitri Mascarenhas, having represented England, England Lions, Hampshire, Hampshire 2nd XI, Hobart Hurricanes, Kings XI Punjab, Melbourne Stars, Otago, Rajasthan Royals, Rangpur Riders and Wellington is a well-travelled all-rounder. Mascarenhas was bred in Perth but he learnt his trade at Hampshire. Whilst his batting is all about brute power, his bowling relies upon canny variations. 'Dimi' is also known to be a live-wire on the field.

Mascarenhas enjoyed a memorable county debut, taking 6-88 against Glamorgan in 1996 - the best bowling figures by a Hampshire bowler on debut. Soon, he established himself as a hard-hitting batsman too. Arguably, Shane Warne's influence at Hampshire elevated his all-round prowess to a new plane. However, he had to wait patiently for his international debut.

The long overdue debut finally came to pass in June 2007 in a T20I against West Indies. His ODI debut soon followed suit but Dimi failed to translate his domestic success onto the international scene. His last international appearance came against Australia in September 2009. Mascarenhas' only noteworthy performance was his aggressive fifty against India at Bristol, where he spanked Yuvraj Singh for five successive sixes in a single over.
