Seeram was born in Ogle, a village in Guyana's Demerara-Mahaica region.[1] In November 1985, he represented Demerara against Berbice in the final of the Guystac Trophy, which at the time held first-class status.[2] After emigrating to Canada, Seeram made his debut for the national team in October 1996, playing in the Shell/Sandals Trophy (a West Indian domestic competition in which Canada were competing as a guest team). At that tournament, he shared the wicket-keeping duties with Alex Glegg, although in all other matches for Canada he played solely as a batsman.[3] The following year, Seeram played in the 1997 ICC Trophy in Malaysia, featuring in six of his team's seven matches.[4] He had little success, however, scoring only 76 runs in six innings (with a best of 25 against Denmark).[5] Seeram's final match for Canada came in the 1997–98 Red Stripe Bowl (the renamed Shell/Sandals Trophy), against his country of origin, Guyana.[3]
