Career
A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, he played for the Nepal national cricket team between 2002 and 2006 including two first-class matches. Born in Nepal in 1985, Manoj Katuwal first played for Nepal at Under-17 level when he played in the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Under-17 Asia Cup in Bangladesh in 2001. He played for Nepal Under-19s at the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand the subsequent year and made his début for the senior side later that year in the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Trophy in Singapore.
Returning to the Under-19 team, he played in the 2003 Youth Asia Cup in Karachi and a second Under-19 World Cup, in Bangladesh in 2004.
Following the Under-19 World Cup, he made his first-class début, playing for Nepal in the 2004 Interstate Commerce Commission Intercontinental Cup against the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia. He played Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Fast Track Countries Tournament matches against Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong later that year.
His appearances for the Nepalese side became less frequent at this point in his career. He played an Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Fast Track Countries Tournament match against Malaysia in October 2005, before playing a match against Namibia in Windhoek to decide the final team in the 2006 Interstate Commerce Commission Intercontinental Cup.
He most recently played for his country in the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Premier League in 2006, when he played against the United Arab Emirates.
