Shamar made his debut in international cricket in the first Test against Australia. He is the best cricketer in the first test series of his cricket career. But he first played competitive cricket in 2023. Shamar was born in a remote village in the Caribbean Islands. Shamar was born in a village named Baracara on the island of Guyana. Till 2018 there was no phone or internet in that village. All that could be found after two days' journey by boat. After that, Shamar got a taste of cricket. He used to play tape ball cricket in the village. Very few houses had TV. Shamar used to watch Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walls play there. Shamar used to work as a security guard to help the family financially. He also has a two-year-old son. Even after shouldering that responsibility, Shamar's love for the game did not decrease. Because of that love, he suddenly quit his job and focused on cricket. Placed first class team Guyana Harpy Eagles. He has caught the attention of the West Indies selectors in just a few matches.
