Carris was educated at Harrow, and played in the First XI, which he captained in 1936. He went up to St John's College, Cambridge, later that year.
He made his first-class debut for Middlesex in July 1937, opening the batting with Fred Price in three matches. In his second match he made 65 and added 129 for the second wicket with Bill Edrich.[1]
He played seven matches for Cambridge in 1938, with a best performance of 43 and 79 together with 2 for 60 and 2 for 19 with his left-arm spin against Glamorgan.[2] He was awarded his cricket Blue. He also won a Blue at golf.
He played a full season for Cambridge in 1939, making his highest score of 87 against Surrey[3] and scoring 44 and 36 in a narrow loss to Oxford University in the next match.[4] He played the rest of the season with Middlesex, but without conspicuous success.
