Bodenstein was born in Pretoria, but went to school in Jersey, attending Saint Helier's Victoria College. A captain of the school team,[1] he represented Jersey at both the 2009 and 2010 European Under-17 Championships. His senior debut for Jersey came in 2011, at the age of 18, when he played against Cornwall and a Hertfordshire development team early in the season. Bodenstein also represented the Jersey under-19s in 20-over tournaments in both 2011 and 2012, playing against other European sides.[2] While a student at Oxford Brookes University in 2013, he was selected in Oxford MCC University's squad, playing a number of fixtures against university sides and various other teams.
