Umpiring career
De Silva was the first Sri Lankan umpire to be on the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires. He served on the panel from 2002 to 2004 when he was dropped down to the International Panel, but was invited back to the Elite level in April 2008 when the panel was expanded to twelve members.[2]
He continued as a member of the International Panel in the interim period, being used by the ICC to support the Elite Panel during busy periods in the international cricket season. He umpired in the Cricket World Cup tournaments in 2003, 2007 and 2011. De Silva was moved to less crucial matches during the 2011 Cricket World Cup after a review of his performance.[3] He was not considered for the Elite Panel after May 2011.[4]
