Carroll was born at the Sydney suburb of Mosman in November 1941. He later studied as a mature student in England at Mansfield College at the University of Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University from 1969–71, making fourteen appearances.[2] Carroll scored 403 runs in his fourteen matches, at an average of 16.12 and a high score of 60 not out, his only first-class half century.[3]

Besides playing first-class cricket, Carroll also played rugby union as a fullback at domestic level in both Australia and England.[4] His teams at domestic level included Northern Suburbs in Australia and Harlequins and Oxford University.[1] He made one appearance for the Barbarians, against Penarth RFC in April 1971.[5]
