Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
With the likes of Eranga, Pradeep, Prasad and Malinga going around at the time, Fernando had to wait on the fringes on a couple of overseas tours. He returned back to the domestic fold the following year, and finished as the 2014-15 Premier League Tournament's most impressive pacer, finishing with 40 wickets at an average of under 22.
His debut came against the touring Aussies in 2016 on surfaces tailor-made for the host spinners - so much so that in his first game where he was the lead pacer, 19 wickets were taken by the spinners and he didn't even bowl in the second innings. As captains and fast bowlers were on musical circles in Sri Lanka, an ODI and T20I debut duly came about against India the following year.
It was with the bat however, as a number eleven, that his career-defining moment came in 2019, when Fernando hung around with a rampaging Kusal Perera to put on 78 runs for the final wicket to help Sri Lanka pull off an unimaginable victory against South Africa in Durban. He topped with a four-wicket hauk in the next game at Port Elizabeth in sealing the series 2-0, topping the wicket charts and playing a crucial role in Sri Lanka's first ever series win in the African nation.
With a calm head on his shoulders and a good pace in his armoury, Fernando could well be a potent force for sides to deal with, especially in the longer format.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A left-arm quick from Moratuwa, Vishwa Fernando has been earmarked for national duty, thanks largely to the skiddy pace he generates from a whippy action. Having made his first-class debut in 2012, Fernando showed early potential, claiming 26 wickets in his maiden season.
Fernando's bowling, though, was always thought to be better than his figures suggest. His first foray into the national squad was based on little more than a selector's hunch, and a desire to blood left-arm quicks, who are in short supply in Sri Lanka's domestic cricket. Fernando was named in in Sri Lanka's Test squad to the UAE in 2014, before also traveling to Bangladesh with the side soon after. He did not make an international debut, however, and returned home to play out a modest series against the visiting England A side.
He would get another break in 2015, when he was named in Sri Lanka's Test squad for the series against India, in August. This time, his selection was backed by wickets. Fernando had been the most penetrative quick in the 2014-15 Premier League Tournament, having claimed 40 scalps at an average of 21.97.
