“I came back after 4 and half months and I want to thank everyone who supported me during that period. I last played LPL and after that I haven’t played cricket. I worked really hard to make a comeback, I played 2 domestic games before this game and I am really happy with my performance. We have a very balanced (T20I) side and we know the opposition well and we will try to do our basics right as a team,” Hasaranga said.
