Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He fought his way back and made it to the side once again in 2006 for the tour of Bangladesh. Although he had a mediocre series, the selectors persisted with him for the tour of England. Vandort did not disappoint as he scored a gritty hundred in the second innings of the Birmingham Test but failed to prevent defeat. Since then he was a permanent member of the side and had a very good two years as he scored tons against Bangladesh and England again. Things started to change during the tour of West Indies in 2008, where he managed only one fifty in 4 innings. That was his last fifty for Sri Lanka as he failed against the touring Indians and was dropped after first Test against Bangladesh at Dhaka.
Vandort played just the one ODI and he scored a very slow 48 against Australia. He was not considered for the shorter forms of the game as he was not a swift mover on the field.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Michael Vandort, a tall left hander, emerged onto the national scene in 2001 after a string of impressive performances for Colombo Cricket Club and Sri Lanka A. A late developer, Vandort played only one first-class match for St Joseph's First XI, but he quickly made an impression. He was then picked for a Board XI side against India in August 2001 and booked himself a berth in Sri Lanka's 16-man Test squad on the back of an impressive century. He sat on the sidelines throughout the series, but was finally given a chance against Bangladesh in 2001 when the selectors rested senior players. However, despite scoring a century in the second Test, he then waited three-and-half-years before reclaiming a place in the national squad. Opportunities were restricted due to the established Jayasuriya-Atapattu opening combination, but many argue he has nonetheless been unfairly ignored by the selectors. An injury to Sanath Jayasuriya paved the way for his ODI debut against Australia at Melbourne in February 2006. He top scored with a gritty but slow 48 but was then dropped for the rest of his series. He played two Tests in the Bangladesh series that followed, again showing an impressive adhesiveness and is particularly strong off the front foot, through the off-side and leg-side. Rated highly as a slip fieldsman but is slow in the field, a weakness that continues to restrict his opportunities in the limited-overs game.
