Scharenguivel grew up in what was then British Ceylon, where he was a junior tennis champion. Post-war he moved to Bristol to complete his studies and found work as a civil engineer, living during this time in the town of Filton.[1]
A Gloucestershire county captain, Scharenguivel reached the singles second round at Wimbledon on three occasions, was a two-time Exmouth Open singles champion and won the West of England Championships in doubles.[2] He won the singles title at Bath every year from 1947 to 1952.[3] In 1953 he was called up to the Ceylon Davis Cup team for the country's debut tournament appearance and played a tie against the Netherlands in Scheveningen.[1]
