Vishwa Fernando Joins Warwickshire For County Championship 2025
Fernando’s international and county credentials make him a valuable addition. He impressed in his three-match stint with Yorkshire last summer, where he claimed 17 wickets, including a nine-wicket match haul against Derbyshire. His performances paved the way for his continued impact on the international stage, highlighted by his key contributions during Sri Lanka's Test victory over England at The Kia Oval. The left-arm quick expressed his enthusiasm about joining Warwickshire and stated, "I am thrilled to be joining Warwickshire for the early stages of the season. Playing county cricket has been hugely enjoyable for me over the last two years."
Fernando also praised the club’s talent and camaraderie, saying, "The county have some very good cricketers, and I am looking forward to playing with Alex Davies, Ed Barnard, and all the boys. When I step onto the field for any team, I always give 100 per cent, and the loyal Bears fans will get my absolute heart and soul in every day I am there."
