Now according to the reports, the information that has surfaced says that Hasaranga has been made the captain of Sri Lanka's T20 team. Then, Hasanga was bought at base price in a mini auction after RCB's release.
According to a report in 'Sports Pavilion', Hasaranga has been made the captain of the T20 International team by the Sri Lanka Cricket Board. Sri Lanka toured New Zealand for a three-format series in April, where Sri Lanka's T20 team was captained by Dasun Shanaka. But now Hasaranga has been made the captain of the T20 team.
