Camilus Christopher Alexander (born 20 October 1981) is a Grenadian cricketer who has played for the Windward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket. He plays as a right-arm leg-spin bowler.

Alexander was born in Mount Horne, in Grenada's Saint Andrew Parish.[1] Aged 17, he represented the West Indies under-19s at the 2000 World Cup, playing in three of his team's seven matches. Alexander's best performance at the tournament was 3/49 against New Zealand.[2] He made his first-class debut a few months later, playing a single match for the West Indies under-23s against the touring Pakistanis. In the 2000–01 and 2001–02 editions of the Busta Cup, Alexander played for West Indies B, a development team.[3] He also played a single match for the Southern Windward Islands in the 2001–02 Red Stripe Bowl, a limited-overs competition.[4]

Between March 2002 and February 2009, Alexander played only a single match of first-class cricket, appearing for the Windward Islands against the Leeward Islands in the 2004–05 Carib Beer Cup.[3] However, he did represent the Grenadian national team at the 2008 Stanford 20/20 tournament, playing against Anguilla and Barbados.[5] Alexander was eventually recalled to the Windwards squad for the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition. In three matches, he failed to take a single wicket,[3] although he did score 62 against Guyana (his only first-class half-century. He had come to crease as a nightwatchman at the end of the second day, following the dismissal of opener Johnson Charles.[6]

In March 2017, he was called up to a selection camp with the potential of representing the United States at the 2017 ICC World Cricket League Division Three tournament.[7]
