Styris was educated at Fairfield Intermediate and Hamilton Boys' High School, both in the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island. His early cricketing development was shaped by club and school cricket in the Hamilton area, where he later represented Hamilton in the Hawke Cup, New Zealand's premier competition for non–first-class district associations.
Styris made his entry into senior domestic cricket in the 1994/95 season. He has represented both Auckland and Northern Districts in New Zealand's domestic structure, turning out across first-class, list A and Twenty20 formats. Alongside his provincial commitments, he also played for Hamilton in the Hawke Cup.
As an all-rounder, Styris featured for New Zealand across Test matches, One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. His most prominent team achievement came when he was part of the New Zealand squad that won the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy, an ICC global tournament for senior men's national sides.
Styris was known as an aggressive right-handed middle-order batsman capable of accelerating an innings, complemented by useful right-arm medium-pace bowling. This combination allowed him to fulfil dual responsibilities with bat and ball, a profile that suited New Zealand's preference for multi-skilled cricketers in limited-overs formats.
Following his retirement from playing, Styris transitioned into broadcasting and works as a cricket commentator.
