About Vishwa Fernando

Quick, with a whippy action, and accurate - Vishwa Fernando has come into the Sri Lankan bowling scene as a breath of fresh air. He started off fairly young and sprung into focus in his first season itself in 2012, where he finished with 26 wickets, thanks predominantly to his raw pace - something that saw him being fast-tracked into the national setup by the end of 2013.

With the likes of Eranga, Pradeep, Prasad and Malinga going around at the time, Fernando had to wait on the fringes on a couple of overseas tours. He returned back to the domestic fold the following year, and finished as the 2014-15 Premier League Tournament's most impressive pacer, finishing with 40 wickets at an average of under 22.
