Graeme Fredrick Labrooy (Sinhalese: ග්රැහැම් ලැබ්රෝයි; born June 7, 1964, in Colombo) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer who played in 9 Tests and 44 ODIs from 1986 to 1992. He is the 50th ODI cap for Sri Lanka. He is currently the chairman of selectors for Sri Lanka national cricket team and also an international match referee.
Cricket career
A right-hand bat and right-arm fast medium bowler, Labrooy took 124 first class wickets at 33.56, however struggled in the international arena with averages in the mid-40s. Together with his moderate batting ability, he enjoyed occasional all round success – most notable seven wickets and 70 from 80 deliveries against Australia later in his career. Due to political tension in Sri Lanka, his nine Test matches were sporadic and all played abroad,[1]
Referee
After retirement, he became a board member of the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations, and currently served as an international referee.

On 15 September 2017, Labrooy was appointed as the chief selector of the national team.[2] He along with former selector, Asanka Gurusinha and three new persons included former national team manager Jeryl Woutersz, former Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Gamini Wickremasinghe, and former domestic Sri Lankan cricketer, Sajith Fernando.[3]
