In 1962, he moved with his family to South Kensington, London, where he attended the City of London School.[1] Having played several matches for England schools and one Second XI Championship match for Warwickshire in 1969,[2] he was invited by India's chairman of selectors, Vijay Merchant, to play in India.[3] He made his first-class debut for Bombay against Saurashtra in the 1969–70 Ranji Trophy. He played three further first-class matches for Bombay that season,[4] and was expected by some to be named in the squad for national team's tour of the West Indies, but he was not selected.[3][5]

His only five wicket haul came against Gujarat for Bombay.[6]
Having returned to England, Hatteea played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire, making 3 Minor Counties Championship appearances for the county in 1972.[7] It was for Oxfordshire that he made his only List A appearance against Durham in the Gillette Cup.[8] In this match he scored an unbeaten 6 runs.
