Please continue to support me, because I'll still be a club cricketer," said Lokusuriyage, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
"It was in 2013 that people around the world got to know who Eshani Lokusiriya is. I was able to achieve those things because I had a good coach, a good captain, and good teammates.
