Warnakolasooriya Rose Priyanka Dovey (née Fernando; born 28 July 1979) is a Sri Lankan former cricketer and current cricket umpire. Her main claim to fame was her bowling and she played primarily as a right-arm off break bowler.

Fernando made her only Women's Test cricket appearance in a 1998 match against Pakistan. She scored 44 runs in the first innings, and took three wickets in the second innings.[4] Fernando played for Sri Lanka at the 2002 Indoor Cricket World Cup.[5] In 2009, she was given a contract by Sri Lanka Cricket.[6] In the same year, Fernando represented Sri Lanka at the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup.[3] In a World Cup match against England, Fernando was reported for an illegal bowling action, as well as England bowler Jenny Gunn.[7]
