International career
Hashan started playing cricket at Isipathana College, Colombo & D. S. Senanayake College, Colombo. 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.{{cite web|title=India v Sri Lanka|publisher=CricketArchive|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/48/48002.html|access-date=5 June 2021|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605044814/https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/48/48002.html|archivedate=5 June 2021|url-status=dead}} 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.{{cite web|title=Australia v Sri Lanka|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/52/52167.html|publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=5 June 2021|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605111327/https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/52/52167.html|archivedate=5 June 2021|url-status=dead}} He continued as a specialist batsman from December 1992 and decided to quit the glovework in 1994.
He was part of the Sri Lankan cricket team that won the 1996 Cricket World Cup.{{cite web|title=Sri Lankan batting coach recalls memories of playing World Cup final in Lahore|url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/163442-sri-lankan-batting-coach-recalls-memories-of-world-cup-final-in-lahore|publisher=Geo TV|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite news|date=28 May 2019|title=World Cup 1996: Sri Lanka emerge as a new-subcontinental superpower|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket-world-cup-2019/story/world-cup-1996-past-winners-sri-lanka-beat-austalia-1536421-2019-05-28|work=India Today|access-date=5 December 2022}} 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. 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.{{cite web|date=15 March 2018|last=Uddin|first=Mazhar|title=We were one family in 1996: Tillakaratne|work=The Daily Star|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/sports/cricket/we-were-one-family-1996-tillakaratne-1548520|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite web|title=Silken Aravinda, stoic Arjuna, and magical Mahela|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sri-lanka-s-ten-best-tests-silken-aravinda-stoic-arjuna-and-magical-mahela-1042001|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite web|date=18 November 2002|title=Tillakaratne's ton recovers Lankan pride|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/tillakaratnes-ton-recovers-lankan-pride-20021118-gdftxr.html|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite web|date=27 September 2010|title=The first Sri Lankan batsman to score a Test century in South Africa|url=https://www.islandcricket.lk/afp_photos/the-only-sri-lankan-batsman-to-score-a-test-century-in-south-africa/|access-date=5 December 2022|website=Island Cricket|archive-date=5 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605111329/https://www.islandcricket.lk/afp_photos/the-only-sri-lankan-batsman-to-score-a-test-century-in-south-africa/|url-status=dead}} He also became the first and only Sri Lankan to have scored a test century at Centurion SuperSport Park.{{cite web|title=Sri Lanka have had their moments but South Africa start favourites|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/115367/sri-lanka-have-had-their-moments-but-south-africa-start-favourites|last=Vice|first=Telford|website=Cricbuzz|date=25 December 2020|access-date=5 December 2022}} He became captain of the Sri Lanka Test team in April 2003, but won only one of his ten matches in charge.{{cite web|title=Hashan Tillakaratne: One of the chief architects who made Sri Lanka a dominant cricketing force|last=Govindasreenivasan|first=Prakash|url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/hashan-tillakaratne-one-of-the-chief-architects-who-made-sri-lanka-a-dominant-cricketing-force-28923|website=Cricket Country|date=16 July 2016|access-date=5 December 2022}} After losing 3–0 to Australia at home, he resigned from captaincy in March 2004 and was not selected for Sri Lanka again.{{cite web|title=Tillakaratne steps down from captaincy|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/tillakaratne-steps-down-from-captaincy-134057|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite web|title=Hashan Tillakaratne aims for final comeback|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/hashan-tillakaratne-aims-for-final-comeback-141562|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite web|title=Tillakaratne - 'I thought I was playing my final innings'|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/tillakaratne-i-thought-i-was-playing-my-final-innings-140387|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|access-date=5 December 2022}} He announced his retirement from international cricket in 2004 and retired from all forms of cricket in 2006 to pursue his career in coaching.{{cite web|title=Hashan Tillakaratne named Sri Lanka Women's head coach|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sri-lanka-women-former-sri-lanka-captain-hashan-tillakaratne-named-women-s-head-coach-1264889|last=Balasuriya|first=Madushka|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|date=2 June 2021|access-date=5 December 2022}}
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.{{cite web|title=Sri Lanka vs West Indies at Sharjah {{!}} 1995 {{!}} Run chase| website=YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP5o_43CYPY|access-date=5 December 2022}} 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.{{cite web|title=Dancing in the aisles in Sharjah|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/what-we-re-watching-dancing-in-the-aisles-in-sharjah-1222357|last=Isam|first=Mohammad|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|date=2 June 2021|access-date=5 December 2022}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/SriLanka/ODI/Batting/Highest_Score_by_Batting_position.html|title=Highest Score by Batsman at Each Batting Positions for Sri Lanka in ODI Matches|publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=20 February 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216221235/https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/SriLanka/ODI/Batting/Highest_Score_by_Batting_position.html|archivedate=16 February 2017|url-status=dead}}
Post-retirement
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,{{cite web|title=End of the road for Tillakaratne?|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/end-of-the-road-for-tillakaratne-144239|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|date=2 February 2005|access-date=5 December 2022}} but he was suspended amid recriminations later that year.{{cite web|last=Thawfeeq|first=Sa'adi|title=Tillakaratne furious over suspension|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/tillakaratne-furious-over-suspension-217151|date=26 August 2005|access-date=5 December 2022|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.}}
Following this he entered politics, joining the United National Party, and was appointed as the party's organiser for Avissawella constituency in Colombo. He continued his association with cricket serving on various SLC committees at the invitation of the newly appointed president, Arjuna Ranatunga. He was also granted honorary life membership of the MCC in March 2008. In May, he was appointed the president of the Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers of Sri Lanka (ACUSSL) and the Sri Lankan cricket board appointed him as National Cricket Team Manager in July 2008.{{cite web|title=Hashan Tillakaratne to head umpires association|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/hashan-tillakaratne-to-head-umpires-association-352419|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|date=25 May 2008|access-date=5 December 2022}} 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.{{cite web|title=Tillakaratne replaced as team manager|last=Thawfeeq|first=Sa'adi|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/tillakaratne-replaced-as-team-manager-362235|website=ESPNcricinfo|publisher=ESPN Inc.|date=23 July 2008|access-date=5 December 2022}}{{cite web|title=Tillekeratne removed as Sri Lanka manager|url=https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/tillekeratne-removed-as-sri-lanka-manager-550019.html|date=23 July 2008|website=news18.com|publisher=Network18 Group|access-date=5 December 2022}}
