Stevenson was born at Coatbridge and was educated in the town at Coatbridge High School. A club cricketer for Drumpellier Cricket Club, Stevenson made his debut for Scotland in a first-class match against Ireland at Dublin in 1985. He would make two further first-class appearances against Ireland in 1986 and 1987,[1] taking 11 wickets with his off break bowling at an average of 20.45, with best figures of 4 for 18.[2] In addition to playing first-class cricket for Scotland, Stevenson also played List A one-day cricket between 1985 and 1987, making seven appearances against English county opponents in the Benson & Hedges Cup and the NatWest Trophy.[3] As a bowler, he struggled in one-day cricket, taking just 3 wickets at an expensive average of 65.66.[4] Outside of cricket, Stevenson was by profession an electronics technician.
