Born in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, Hamer emigrated to Sint Maarten with his family at an early age, learning to play cricket on the island.[1] In August 2005, he played several matches for the Leeward Islands under-19 team, which included a haul of 3/35 in a one-day match against the Guyana under-19s.[2][3] Hamer, a right-arm leg spinner, made his first-class debut for the Leewards in late January 2006, against Barbados in the Carib Beer Cup.[4] In the match, played at the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School Ground in Charlotte Amalie, he took 1/70 in the first innings and 2/29 in the second innings, which included the wicket of Test cricketer Ryan Hinds.[5] Hamer became the first cricketer from Sint Maarten to play at first-class level.[1] He did not play again for the Leewards until the 2014–15 Regional Four Day Competition, against Jamaica, but was retained in the squad for the 2015–16 competition.[4]
