Carswell was born at Gisborne in Poverty Bay in 1936.^[3] He played cricket regularly for Poverty Bay, including in the Hawke Cup, but made only a single first-class appearance. Playing against Canterbury in December 1957 Carswell scored eight runs in his only first-class innings. He was hit on the head whilst batting and retired hurt, but later returned to the crease. He was replaced for Northern Districts' next match by Peter Skelton, unable to play due to his injury which required an operation on his cheek bone.^[2][4][5][6]
