Playing career
Farbrace, nicknamed "Farbie",[2] was a capable wicket-keeper and right-handed batsman who represented Kent (1987–1989) and Middlesex (1990–1995) in 40 first-class matches and 28 List A matches.
His peak season in county cricket was 1991, when he played 20 first class matches, made 54 dismissals, but he only averaged 14.81 with the bat,.[3] With an overall career average of 18.23 he only made another four appearances in first-class cricket, all of which were matches against universities, rather than County Championship matches,.[4] He was replaced as wicket-keeper by longstanding Middlesex player Keith Brown, who had played as a specialist batsman while Farbrace was in the side.[5]
Coaching career
On retiring, Farbrace became a coach. He has led England's Under 19 side,[6] and the national women's team in 2000.[7] Following a spell running the Kent Academy, he was appointed as the assistant coach to Trevor Bayliss for Sri Lanka in July 2007.[8] He sustained a minor injury when the Sri Lankan team was attacked by terrorists in Lahore in March 2009.[9]
He was named first-team coach of Kent for the 2010 season on 31 July 2009.[10]
Upon leaving Canterbury, Farbrace was appointed to the role of Second XI Coach for Yorkshire County Cricket Club, prior to the start of the 2012 domestic cricket season.[1]
On 20 December 2013, he was named the coach of Sri Lanka national cricket team.
