Burrowes was born at Rae Town in the Colony of Jamaica. He later studied in England at St John's College at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against a combined Minor Counties team at Oxford in 1934.[2] Opening the batting for Oxford in their only innings, Burrowes was run out for 3 runs. He bowled eight overs across the match, conceding 37 runs without taking a wicket.[3]
After graduating from Oxford, Burrowes became a physician specialising in obstetrics and gynecology. He spent the last eleven years of his life in Miami, where he died in October 2003.[1]
