Timeline

1967

Deshabandu Hashan Prasantha Tillakaratne (born 14 July 1967) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer and a former Test captain for Sri Lanka.

1986

As a schoolboy in 1986, he was selected to play against England B at Galle, scoring a century to save the match.

He made his One Day International debut in November 1986 at Sharjah against India during the 1986–87 Champions Trophy.

1989

He subsequently made his test debut in the Sri Lankan cricket team as a wicketkeeper-batsman in December 1989 against Australia and scored a duck on test debut.

1992

He continued as a specialist batsman from December 1992 and decided to quit the glovework in 1994.

1995

During a group stage match against West Indies as part of the 1995–96 Singer Champions Trophy at Sharjah chasing a mammoth 334, Hashan Tillekaratne coming in at seven had an uphill task to rescue the Sri Lankan batting singlehandedly in the run chase when they were reduced to 103/5 at one stage.

He nearly pulled off a Javed Miandad type masterclass innings of his own by scoring a century coming into bat at seven giving Sri Lanka a fair chance of getting closer to the winning target from nowhere.

However, his valiant knock was in vain as Sri Lanka lost only by four runs in the end being bowled out for 329.

He went to become the first batsman in the world to score an ODI century when batting at number 7 position.

Up to date, he remains the only Sri Lankan to have scored an ODI century when batting at number 7 position and still has the highest ODI score for Sri Lanka when batting at no 7 positions.

1996

He was a key member for 1996 Cricket World Cup winning team for Sri Lanka.

He is currently a politician and also involved in many aspects of cricket within the country.

His twin sons Ravindu Tillakaratne and Duvindu Tillakaratne also play domestic cricket in Sri Lanka.

Hashan started playing cricket at Isipathana College, Colombo & D. S. Senanayake College, Colombo.

He was part of the Sri Lankan cricket team that won the 1996 Cricket World Cup.

1999

He was dropped from the Sri Lankan Test and ODI teams after the 1999 Cricket World Cup, but returned to the Test team in 2001 following success in domestic first-class cricket, where he played for Nondescripts Cricket Club.

2002

He also returned to the ODI team in 2002–03.

In November 2002, he scored a magnificent test century against South Africa at Centurion Park in difficult conditions and with that century he went onto become the first Sri Lankan to have scored a test century in South African soil.

He also became the first and only Sri Lankan to have scored a test century at Centurion SuperSport Park.

2003

He became captain of the Sri Lanka Test team in April 2003, but won only one of his ten matches in charge.

2004

After losing 3–0 to Australia at home, he resigned from captaincy in March 2004 and was not selected for Sri Lanka again.

He announced his retirement from international cricket in 2004 and retired from all forms of cricket in 2006 to pursue his career in coaching.

2005

On 1 February 2005, the Sri Lankan cricket board appointed him executive director of Cricket-Aid, a body formed to provide relief following the December 2004 tsunami, but he was suspended amid recriminations later that year.

This appointment was subsequently vetoed by Sports Minister Gamini Lokuge on the grounds that the SLC had failed to obtain his prior permission on the appointment and Hashan was replaced by Charith Senanayake.

2011

In April 2011, he caused a furore by making public allegations that match-fixing had been taking place in Sri Lankan cricket since 1992 and stated that he was prepared to divulge the information that he had about this to the ICC.
