Vandort bucked the trend of typical Sri Lanka cricketers by forcing his way into the national team with next to no experience in school cricket.
Good performances for Sri Lanka A were enough to attract the attention of selectors, and a century for a Board XI against India in 2000 enhanced his reputation.
Made to wait until late 2001 before making his Test debut, but impressed against Bangladesh in the Asian Test Championship with a solid 36.
Promoted to usual opening slot for his next - and to date only - appearance 10 months later against the same team, scoring 61 and 140.
