Following an injury to Nayan Mongia in the 1999 World Cup, Prasad was given his chance at the international level. He played in six tests in 1999–2000 and several more one-day matches. After that
Prasad continued his flop performance in domestic cricket even after national, when selectors picked Vijay Dahiya, Saba Karim, Nayan Mongia, Deep Das Gupta, Sameer Dighe, Ajay Ratra and Parthiv Patel in a virtual merry go round from 2000–2003.
Prasad captained Andhra till 2007 and in 2008 announced his retirement from all forms of the game at a young age of 33. He was then chosen National selector in 2015 which he described as an honour. Prasad also served as selector for Indian Colts(U-19 National Cricket Team).
