Former South Australian state cricketer, selector dies
South Australia’s cricket community is in mourning after a former state cricketer who later went into coaching and administration died this week.
South Australia’s cricket community is in mourning after the death of former SA player and selector Ben Cameron this week at 44.
An opener, Cameron played 10 first-class matches and nine one-dayers for the Redbacks from 2004-07.
On his Pura Cup debut, Cameron posted a pair of half-centuries at the MCG, opening the batting against a Victorian attack that included future Australian players Mick Lewis, Andrew McDonald and Cameron White.
Cameron was also a teammate of Australian Test players including Darren Lehmann, Greg Blewett, Jason Gillespie, Ryan Harris and Shaun Tait.
Hampered by knee troubles before retiring, Cameron later coached in South Australia before taking over as head coach and high performance manager of the Vanuatu national side. He subsequently served as a selector for the SA state team, as recently as last year, contributing to the state’s historic Sheffield Shield and one-day double.
“We are aware of and deeply saddened by the passing of South Australian former player and staff member Ben Cameron,” the SACA said on Friday.
“Out of respect for Ben’s family we will not be making any further comment at this stage.”
While Cameron held the Vanuatu role for less than a year, he said at the time of his resignation that the experience had been life changing.
“From the moment I was appointed last March, it has been a privilege working with the VCA in 2022, which was not only about winning games of cricket for the national teams, but also supporting the development of a strong pathway for young cricketers to identify and invest in the next wave of talent,” Cameron said.
“The experience of connecting with players and VCA staff has been life changing, which will influence the next phase of my career. I wish the players, VCA and the new coach all the best in what is an exciting 2023 ahead.”
