Steven Elworthy (born 23 February 1965 in Bulawayo, Rhodesia) is a former South African cricketer (right arm fast-medium bowler) who has fostered a career in administration with Cricket South Africa.

International career

After 10 years of playing first class cricket Elworthy made his One Day International (ODI) debut at age 32 for South Africa on April 3, 1998 against Pakistan. His test debut was later that year, July 23rd against England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
