After leaving Corentyne High School, Butcher joined the Port Mourant Sports Club.
Joe Solomon welcomed him and two other new members and future internationals
- Rohan Kanhai and Ivan Madray -
By the age of 18 Butcher was on the Port Mourant Estate cricket team ~

AdrianDarren Bravo had a remarkable 2020 cricket season, showcasing his skills and talent on the field. His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable.
