Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
But a below par performance on his debut, led to his axing and soon he was back in the domestic circuit as yet another hopeful. With some fine shows for his provincial side Kandurata in 2008, Thushara forced his way back into the national side. After Thushara came on to the scene, the selectors put an end to Chaminda Vaas' career. Alongwith Nuwan Kulasekara, Thushara has formed a potent new ball attack for the Lankans in both forms of the game.
Thushara has so far featured in 38 ODI games taking 50 wickets with a best haul of 5/47. He has managed 28 wickets in 10 Tests. Also known for his late order hitting, Thushara has often contributed well with the willow. Coming at 7 or 8 in the order, he has given glimpses of his potential with flashy stroke play and given rise to the perception that he could be an all-rounder in the making for the future. He made fleeting appearances for Chennai Super Kings in the 2009 Indian T20 League before being released from the squad.
Little did 'Mirando' know that his bright career would go downhill. The early signs of consistency evaporated, injuries took a toll on his body, his confidence suffered multiple dents. Thushara's last Test was against West Indies in Galle, where he went wickeless. He toils hard in the domestic stage in hopes of a re-entry to international cricket. However that appears unlikely with the likes of Shaminda Eranga and Suranga Lakmal firmly establishing themselves in the bowling attack.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Thushara is one of new fast bowling prospects to emerge in the last two
years. From the coastal town of Balapitiya, he made his first-class debut in
1998-99. After a few years of steady improvement, including a spell in the
BCCSL's Fast Bowling Unit, he caught the eye of the selectors and was
included for Sri Lanka's tour of South Africa in 2002. He made his Test debut
against West Indies in 2003, but failed to make the Test or ODI squad for
the England tour later in the year. No rabbit with the bat, he is a
hard-hitting striker of the ball and has two first-class half-centuries to
his name. He played an important role in Kandurata ending as Inter-provincial limited-overs joint champs in 2008, finishing as the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 11 wickets. That earned him a recall to the Test squad for the tour of West Indies and he impressed with eight wickets in two Tests. He was later included in the 30-man probables for the Champions Trophy. He has been effective on Sri Lankan pitches, forming a successful partnership with Nuwan Kulasekara.
