Early Life and Family Background
Quentin Sampson hails from a small village called Karia Karia, which lies along the banks of the Essequibo River in Guyana. Quentin is the eldest of four siblings and comes from a supportive family background.
Quentin developed an interest in cricket at the age of six. Realizing his talent and potential, Quentin’s father decided to form a softball cricket team so that Quentin could have more playing time.
School Cricket and First Breakthrough
