K. T. Francis, full name Kandiah Thirugnansampandapillai Francis (15 October 1939 – 9 June 2013) was a Sri Lankan cricket umpire.[1] Francis officiated in 25 Tests and 56 One Day Internationals (ODIs) between 1982 and 1999, mostly in his native Sri Lanka.
Francis' first Test as umpire was the one-off Test between Sri Lanka and England in February 1982; this was the first recognised Test match played by Sri Lanka. Three days earlier, Francis made his debut as a ODI umpire, in a match that also featured the debut of future Sri Lankan cricket captain Arjuna Ranatunga.
