Paresh Prasad Lohani (born 19 August 1980) is a Nepalese cricketer.[2] A right-handed batsman,[3] he has played for the Nepal national cricket team since 2000.[4]
Born in Kathmandu in 1980,[3] Lohani first played for Nepal in the 2000 ACC Trophy in the United Arab Emirates. He played matches against the UAE, Japan, the Maldives and Hong Kong during the tournament.[4] He played in the 2001 ICC Trophy in Ontario, Canada the following year.[5]
He played in the ACC Trophy again in 2002 and 2004,[4] making his first-class début in the latter year when he played in the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup against the UAE and Malaysia.[6] He played ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament matches against Singapore, Nepal and Hong Kong later the same year.[4]
In February 2005 he played in the repêchage tournament of the 2005 ICC Trophy,[4] in which Nepal finished third after beating Qatar in a play-off.[7] He also played ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament matches against Singapore, Malaysia,[4] the UAE and Hong Kong.[6] The games against the UAE and Hong Kong also counted towards the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup[8] and are his last first-class matches to date.[1][6] He won the man of the match award in the match against Singapore after scoring a total of 172 runs in the match, including an unbeaten century in the second innings.[9]
The following year, he played in a play-off match against Namibia to decide the final spot in the 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup. Needing an outright win to qualify, Nepal could only secure a draw after there was no play on the first day.[10] Later in the year he played on a tour of Pakistan with Nepal in addition to playing in the ACC Trophy and ACC Premier League. He most recently represented his country at the 2007 ACC Twenty20 Cup.[4]
