Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Considering the sort of batting crisis Sri Lanka had faced in recent years, he should have been an automatic pick in the national side by now. Instead, he continues to be in and out of the side despite his obvious talent. In the shorter formats, Samarawickrama enjoys batting at the top of the order where he can utilize the fielding restrictions with the utmost freedom. A product of the U19 system, he was Kusal
Mendis’ peer and while the latter has taken comparatively bigger strides as an international player, Samarawickrama’s current status is quite complicated. Considering his run-scoring prowess in domestic cricket, he will always be at the back of selectors’ minds but it’s up to the youngster to fulfil his enormous potential. If tapped well, Samarawickerama has it in him to be an all-format star.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In the longest format, Sadeera Samarawickrama is a dashing wicketkeeper-batsman who plays in the middle order. In limited-overs cricket, he has routinely set his teams off to fast starts as an opener. In any case, few school leavers of his vintage have made such a successful transition to the senior level. The national selectors have taken notice.
Having begun his cricket at Colombo's Thurstan College, Samarawickrama moved to St Joseph's in his final years, and prospered in the school system, even hitting a memorable 126 in St Joseph's biggest fixture of the year. That performance propelled him into Sri Lanka's Under-19 squad, where he again impressed, making 265 runs at an average of 44.17 in the 2014 Youth World Cup.
While Kusal Mendis - his team-mate from that U-19 side - was fast-tracked to the national side, Samarawickrama would have to earn his place through first-class performances. His first season with Colts Cricket Club was modest, but his second was good, and his third outstanding. Samarawickrama topped Tier-A run charts with 1016 runs at 59.76 in the 2016-17 season. On his debut for Sri Lanka A in February 2017, he cracked 185 runs off 223 balls against a strong England Lions attack.
On the back of those runs, Samarawickrama earned a maiden Sri Lanka call-up in September of the same year, for the Tests against Pakistan.
