George Stephen (Steve) Camacho (October 15, 1945 – October 2, 2015) was a West Indian cricketer who played in eleven Tests from 1968 to 1971 as an opening batsman and occasional leg-spin bowler.
Career[edit]
Camacho was part of the West Indian Test side for four series: 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969, 1970-71. His final tour was to England in 1973: in only the second game, his cheekbone was fractured by a bouncer from Hampshire's Andy Roberts and he left the side, never to play another Test.
After retirement[edit]
After retirement in 1979, Camacho served West Indies cricket as selector then secretary and later as chief executive of the West Indies Cricket Board. He was the author of a book Cricket at Bourda: Celebrating the Georgetown Cricket Club (2007, ISBN 978-9769507586; ISBN 976950758X).[1] He died on October 2, 2015.[2]
