The 32-year-old is a Level Two coach in Australia and is also a qualified Level Five umpire back home in Sri Lanka.
He played seven first-class matches and spent time in his home country's spin squad, along with Test cricket's leading wicket-taker Muttiah Muralitharan.
"Murali was at training one day and he got us to bowl, concentrating on consistency first, before the variations," Kodamullage said.
"You have to have the consistency to bowl on the spot, that's the main thing he did."
Kodamullage won the most valuable player and leading wicket-taker awards with Preston in the Victorian sub-district league last season, where he was also the assistant coach.
CAW is yet to name a starting date for 2020-21 with the AFL's grand final set to impact on that decision.
