Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He performed wonderfully well in the 2004 Champions trophy played in England. Maharoof showed tremendous ability in swinging the ball on helpful pitches. He was promoted to open the bowling in the 2005 Tri-series, which was contested between Sri Lanka, India and West Indies. His spell of 10-5-9-3 against the Windies at Dambulla was one of the most economical spells of bowling in ODIs. He reserved his potency for the West Indies and he managed to pick up his best ODI figures in the qualifying matches for the Champions Trophy. He bowled out the Men from Caribbean for a paltry 80 with a spell of 9-2-14-6, the best figures in the history of the tournament, to help the Sri Lankans gain victory. He memorably commented after the match that he just kept things 'simple'.
Maharoof continued to grow in the national team. In the 2007 World Cup, he became the first Sri Lankan to take four wickets on WC debut when he picked up 4/23 against Bermuda. He prised out 10 wickets in three ODIs against England but later faded away due to injury. With the emergence of Angelo Mathews, Maharoof's place was under a cloud. However, he made a mark in the Asia Cup of 2010 when he picked up 5/42 against India, including a hat-trick.
Following another bout of injuries, Maharoof was not selected in the World Cup squad. With the retirement of Malinga from Tests and with injuries to Dilhara Fernando and Nuwan Pradeep, Maharoof returned to the SL team for the tour of England. At that time, Maharoof was playing club cricket for Lancashire and many felt that he would be experienced enough to lead an inexperienced attack. Unfortunately, he struggled to be penetrative and was dropped for the third Test.
Maharoof was expected to play a vital role in a team that was enduring a transition phase after the twin departures of Muralitharan and Vaas. However, with fitness playing truant, Maharoof has been relegated to the sidelines. He came back and featured in the Commonwealth Bank Tri-nation series in 2012 but failed to deliver the goods, yet again.
Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera have now grown leaps and bounds to become premier all-rounders for Sri Lanka, banishing Maharoof to the domestic circuit.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Farveez Maharoof is a fast-bowling allrounder who bowls lively seamers from an upright, open-chested action. Sri Lanka's selectors, impressed by his performances as under-19 captain, fast-tracked him into the national squad for the Zimbabwe tour in April-May 2004 as they looked towards the future. Faced with a weak opposition, Maharoof picked up a bunch of wickets, but then came up against better competitors during the Asia Cup. He performed reasonably well, and made a mark with his swinging deliveries when South Africa came visiting. He had worked his way up through the representative ranks, playing for the Sri Lanka Under-15s, Under-17s and under-19s, and led the Under-19 team on four tours, including the 2004 Youth World Cup in Bangladesh.
He enjoyed a prolific school career for Wesley College, with a highest score of 243 and best bowling figures of 8 for 20. Maharoof has not had too many opportunities in Test cricket but was a limited-overs regular for a good half-decade.
A mean display during the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy in England, when he exploited the end-of-summer conditions expertly, indicated he could be especially useful when Sri Lanka play in seamer-friendly conditions. A useful series with bat and ball against Pakistan in early 2006 suggested he was ready to push on, but his bowling failed to impress on the tour of England - taking only one wicket in three Tests - in conditions that should have suited him.
Then came an astonishing display at the Champions Trophy in India when his 6 for 14 skittled West Indies out for 80. He performed creditably with bat and ball for the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL's first season
Maharoof was in and out of Sri Lanka's squad till 2012, when he was dropped following the Asia Cup in Bangladesh. He made a surprise comeback in 2016, when the selectors recalled him for the limited-overs leg of their tour to Ireland and England.
