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.

Bodenstein was a member of the Jersey squad at the 2013 European T20 Championship, held in England in July. He played four out of five games at the tournament, including Jersey's semi-final loss to Italy, and finished with eight wickets, second only to Ben Stevens for Jersey.[6] The 2013 World Cricket League Division Six tournament was hosted by Jersey later in the month, and Bodenstein again had a successful tournament – only three players (two Nigerians and Ben Stevens, again) took more wickets than his eleven.[7] Jersey won Division Six to gain promotion to the following year's Division Five tournament, played in Malaysia. Bodenstein's most notable performance there was 4/37 against Tanzania.[8] He has since also played for Jersey at the 2014 WCL Division Four tournament in Singapore, and the 2015 European T20 Championship, which was hosted by Jersey.[2]
