<br />
==Early life and career==<br />
Prasad was born in [[Medikonduru]], in the [[Guntur]] district of [[Andhra Pradesh]], India, to a middle-class family.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/3928/mannava-prasad | title=Biography of M S K Prasad|publisher=Cricbuzz}}</ref> He started his cricket career with the Andhra Pradesh Ranji team. He made his international debut with the India-A Team during the bilateral cricket series with Pakistan-A in 1997–98. He got a lucky break in the 1999 Cricket World Cup when the regular wicketkeeper [[Nayan Mongia]] got injured. In 1999–2000, he played six test matches – three each against Australia and New Zealand. However, after this his form dipped and he averaged only 8 runs with the bat. His continued batting failures led to the end of his career. In the six Test matches he played, Prasad scored 106 runs at an average of 11.78. In the 17 ODIs, he scored 131 runs at an average below 15, with only one half-century in the process. That ended his brief international career.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/32346.html | title= Mannava Prasad – Profile|publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><br />
