B. C. Cooray an instructor

International Cricket Council (ICC) appointed umpire B.C. Cooray has qualified to be an instructor for umpires.

The Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers (UK) confirmed the appointment in a letter to Cooray, who now joins fellow Test umpires K.T. Francis and Udaya Wickremasinghe as those who have qualified before him from Sri Lanka.

Cooray is grateful to Francis and Wickremasinghe for supporting and assisting him to obtain this rare qualification.

Francis and Cooray are serving in the ICC world panel of Test umpires since the formation of the independent panel in February 1994.

Cooray is due to leave for New Zealand at the end of the month to officiate in the first Test between New Zealand and Pakistan at Christchurch from December 8-12.
