Encyclopedia
Seren Robert Waters is a cricketer who plays for Surrey
and Kenya. He was born and lives in Kenya but has British nationality. Moreover, since Kenya is only an associate member of the ICC
, Waters is also eligible to play for England. He was educated at Cranleigh School
, England and captained the 1st XI cricket side for 2 years, playing alongside Stuart Meaker
. In his last season at Cranleigh School, he finished with almost 900 runs.
He is a skillful and bold opening batsman, who loves to face the first ball. He is strong off his legs and through the covers and his favourite shot is the pull shot
. As well as this he is a very able legspinner
and in his last season at Cranleigh School
was second highest wicket taker.
He scored a double century
on debut for Surrey Under-17s in 2006, and in 2008 he made his Surrey 2nd XI debut. In October 2008 he was called into the Kenyan Cricket team, and made an immediate impression, scoring 75 against Ireland in the Intercontinental Cup at the Gymkhana
in Nairobi, and more recently 74 against South Africa at Kimberley in a full ODI. Seren Waters is also a very apt fielder and took two astonishing catches in the 2nd MTN
ODI against South Africa, that belied his age and experience, to send Gibbs and then De Villiers back to the pavilion.
Aside from playing for Surrey and Kenya, Waters also plays for the Old Cranleighan Cricket Club and for Weybridge Cricket Club. Seren Waters also goes to Durham University and has been named in the Kenyan squad for the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
