Caldwell was born in the Brisbane suburb of Clayfield, Queensland, and educated at Brisbane Grammar School [4] and Newington College (1927–1930).[5] He was a right arm fast medium bowler and right-handed batsman for Northern Districts.
On leaving school, Caldwell joined the English Scottish and Australian Bank and at the time of his retirement was National Assistant General Manager, and NSW General Manager, of the same organisation, but by then known as the ANZ.
During World War II, Caldwell served in the 9th Australian Division of the AIF and as a Lieutenant was awarded the British Empire Medal.[6]
Caldwell played for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield for three years (1935–1937) and was President of the Northern Districts Cricket Club from 1963 until 1968. He was Chairman of the Australian Cricket Board [1972-1975) during a difficult period of modernisation of the game in Australia.
