Graeme Fredrick Labrooy (Sinhala: ග්රැහැම් ලැබ්රෝයි; born 7 June 1964) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer who played in nine Test matches and 44 One Day International from 1986 to 1992.
[4] He initially pursued his career as a spinner when he was in his mid 13s to 15s but later decided to become a seamer in his school cricket days.
[4] A right-hand bat and right-arm fast medium bowler, Labrooy took 124 first class wickets at 33.56, but struggled in the international arena with averages in the mid-40s.
[16] In a test match against New Zealand in 1991 at Auckland, he took seven wickets and batting at number 9 position he smacked 70 from just 80 deliveries taking only 89 minutes out of which 60 off those runs came in boundaries (hammering 12 fours and 2 sixes).
[18] Due to political tension in Sri Lanka, his nine Test matches were sporadic and all played abroad.
[26][21] In January 2020, he was named as one of the three match referees for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup tournament in South Africa.
[35] In June 2018, he was reappointed as the chief selector of national cricket team replacing Asanka Gurusinha.
[36][37][38] However, when he was reappointed as the chief selector of the team, concerns were raised over the conflict-of-interest whereas Labrooy was also serving as one of the match referees in the ICC elite panel.
