Hasaranga, who announced to hang up his boots from Test cricket last year, has returned to the fold for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) series against Bangladesh, scheduled to commence on March 22.
The leg-spin all-rounder will link up with Prabath Jayasuriya, Ramesh Mendis, and all-rounders Nishan Peiris and Kamindu Mendis to form a strong spin bowling for Sri Lanka.
All-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva, who was named Sri Lanka’s Test captain earlier this year, will continue to lead the side with wicketkeeper batter Kusal Mendis as his deputy.
The two-match Test series between hosts Bangladesh and Sri Lanka begins on March 22 in Sylhet with the second Test in Chittagong on March 30.
It is pertinent to mention that the two sides engaged in a three-match T20I and ODI series.
The visitors sealed the T20I series 2-1 while the ODI series was won by the hosts.
