DeFreitas was born on Saint Vincent, one of the Windward Islands, but has played all his cricket in the Leewards.[1] His first appearances at a regional level came during the 2002–03 Red Stripe Bowl, a limited-overs tournament. He represented the Rest of Leeward Islands team, which was organised during the early 2000s in seasons when Antigua and Barbuda played as a separate team.[2] In 2006 and 2008, DeFreitas appeared for the British Virgin Islands national team in the Stanford 20/20 tournament, where matches held full Twenty20 status.[3] In between, he had made his first-class debut for the Leeward Islands, playing against Trinidad and Tobago in the 2007–08 Carib Beer Cup.[4] The following season, also against Trinidad and Tobago, DeFreitas took his maiden first-class five-wicket haul, 5/88 in a losing cause.[5] His final match for the Leewards came in the 2009–10 Regional Four Day Competition, against the Combined Campuses and Colleges.[4]
