Introduction

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

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

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). He died on October 2, 2015.
