Ferguson was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire,[1] and played club cricket for Kelburne and Greenock.[2] A wicket-keeper and right-handed batsman, he made his debut for the Scotland under-19s at the age of 17, and later represented the team at the 1999 European Under-19 Championship.[3] Ferguson was a member of Scotland's National Cricket Academy for a period, and he also made appearances Scotland A and Scotland B.[2]
In 2007, Ferguson relocated to Hong Kong for work reasons, and began playing for the Hong Kong Cricket Club.[4] He eventually met the residency qualifications for the Hong Kong national team, and made his international debut at the 2011 ACC Twenty20 Cup in Nepal.[2] Hong Kong made the final of that tournament and consequently qualified for the 2012 World Twenty20 Qualifier, where Ferguson was a member of Hong Kong's squad but did not play any matches.[4] He did not play in another international tournament until the 2014 World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand, where he served as his team's primary wicket-keeper.[5] In seven matches at the tournament, Ferguson batted only twice, scoring a duck against the United Arab Emirates and one run against Nepal. He did, however, have a successful tournament keeping wicket, recording twelve dismissals (all catches).[6]
