George Stephen (Steve) Camacho (15 October 1945 – 2 October 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).[1] He died on 2 October 2015.[2]
