He became a regular in the Leicestershire side in the late 1980s when the other overseas Leicestershire player and fellow West Indian Winston Benjamin was on duty playing for the West Indies Cricket Team. Although Ferris played cricket for the leeward Islands he was never selected by the West Indies due to the strength of the bowling attack the team had.
