Known as 'Sluggo' and living above a curry house in Bermuda, Leverock is a policeman and also drives a prison van. His favourite dish unsurprisingly enough is Beef Korma, and at the 2007 cricket world cup he is without doubt the largest player to grace the pitch, weighing in at 20 stone.
Leverock played with the Bermudian cricket team in their first ever One-Day International when they played Canada on 17 May 2006. Leverock claimed one of Canada's wickets as Bermuda won the game by three wickets under the Duckworth-Lewis method. He has since gone onto play for Bermuda in 11 ODIs, and picked up the first five wicket haul by a Bermudian bowler in ODIs, when he took 5/53 against Kenya which he achieved by opening the bowling, no mean feat for a spin bowler.
He has also represented Bermuda in all eight of their ICC Intercontinental Cup matches to date, with a best of 7/57 against the USA in 2004. He also played in the 2005 ICC Trophy, the ICC Americas Championship in 2004 and 2006, and in the 2006 Stanford 20/20.
In a warm up game against England, before the 2007 World Cup he took the wickets of Paul Collingwood and Kevin Pietersen. (wiki)
