Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Prasanna's efforts were instantly rewarded as he was handed his ODI debut against Australia within a week's gap. He gained 3 wickets but it could not mask the inadequacies of the batting department with Sri Lanka sinking to a 5 wicket loss. He made his maiden Test and hitherto only appearance in the subsequent Test series against the Aussies in Pallekele.
The Balapitiya-born, however, continues to be an integral part of the limited overs side and sparks occasionally with the bat. His 46-ball 95 against Ireland followed by a quickfire 59 against England in June 2016 was widely acknowledged, but soon faltered as he succumbed under pressure.
He played a stellar role in Sri Lanka's first ever series win in any format in South Africa when he struck a few lusty blows in chasing Sri Lanka's highest T20 total ever. In an innings comprising of three fours and three sixes, he gave his countrymen one small reason to cheer as his side sneaked home to a 2-1 T20 series win in an otherwise winless tour.
With the troika of Herath, Mendis and Senanayake consistently outshining him in the earlier part of his career, he now seems to have developed himself into a hard hitting lower order batsman, especially in the limited overs set up.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
An accurate legspinner, and an improving late-order hitter, Seekkuge Prasanna has become one of several Sri Lanka spin options in limited-overs internationals. Quick through the air, and possessed of a good googly, Prasanna has largely been picked when the pitch is expected to take turn. He is prolific in domestic cricket, where he and Ajantha Mendis regularly run through teams on the spin-friendly Sri Lanka Army pitch at Panagoda. Prasanna has also recently begun to feature in foreign competitions, playing in the Bangladesh Premier League and for county side Northamptonshire, predominantly in the T20 Blast.
Having worked his way into the Sri Lanka Army team in 2006 as a 21-year-old, Prasanna made an immediate impact, taking 3 for 23 in 10 overs on his domestic one-day debut against Lankan Cricket Club. He built an outstanding List A record over the next five years, picking up 73 wickets at 18.38 in 45 matches, and was selected in the Sri Lanka A team that toured England in 2011. When he took a six-wicket haul while opening the bowling against England Lions, the Sri Lankan selectors immediately took note - having him fly back home for the two final ODIs against Australian. He took 3 for 32 in his international debut.
