Who is Graeme Labrooy?

Graeme Fredrick Labrooy is a former Sri Lankan cricketer who played in 9 Tests and 44 ODIs from 1986 to 1992. 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, and after his retirement he became a board member of the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations.
