Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He was a part of the 30-member provisional squad for the 2009 ICC World T20 in England, but was denied a spot in the final 15-member squad. Milinda's wish finally came true when he was named in the ODI squad against Pakistan at home. Although Sri Lanka lost that series, one has to understand that the home team were in a re-building phase following the departure of Sangakkara and Jayawardene. The southpaw smashed a 26-ball 52 in the final ODI of the series and ended Pakistan's innings by claiming the wicket of Rahat Ali. His innings also proved to crucial in Sri Lanka recording their highest ever ODI total against Pakistan.
Siriwardana also made his T20I debut following the ODI series (against Pakistan in 2015) and ensured his strike rate never dropped under 100. He developed a trait to play aggressive cricket from school days and since then it has been his area of strength. If he can keep up his consistency, he might and should get a long run in all three formats of the game.
The handy all-rounder made his Test debut in the same year where he enjoyed a string of excellent performances with bat and ball against West Indies in October 2015. After a mediocre 2016 World T20, Milinda had to cope with injury concerns which eventually saw a dip his form. However, the all-rounder is often cited as the \"Man-with-the-golden-arm,\" by the former Sri Lankan greats.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A busy middle-order batsman and a capable left-arm spinner, Milinda Siriwardana broke through to the national side in 2015 after several years of encouraging domestic returns. Outstanding form in the 2015 Premier League Tournament prompted his elevation. He was the first-class season's top scorer with 1144 runs at an average of 67.29, and had also claimed 20 wickets for Badureliya Cricket Club.
Siriwardana showcased his attacking flair when he made his ODI and T20 debuts during Pakistan's mid-year tour of Sri Lanka, and memorably struck his first international fifty in 25 deliveries during a breakneck 114-run ODI stand with Angelo Mathews. A successful initiation in those formats paved the route to his Test debut against West Indies later the same year.
He had made his first-class debut for Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club in 2005, and had played for Sri Lanka A for several years before getting his international break. Siriwardana came close to national recognition was when he was included in the 30-member provisional squad for the 2009 World T20, but he was left out of the final team. That call-up came close on the heels of his maiden first-class ton, 135 for Basnahira South against Ruhuna in the SLC Inter-Provincial Tournament, a match in which he also claimed five wickets.
