He played in a second Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2004 and made his début for the Nepal senior side that year when he played in an ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament match against Hong Kong.〔 Remaining in the senior side, in early 2005 he played in the repêchage tournament of the 2005 ICC Trophy,〔 in which Nepal finished third after beating Qatar in a play-off.〔(Scorecard ) of Nepal v Qatar, 27 February 2005 at CricketArchive〕 He also played ACC Fast Track Countries Tournament matches against Singapore, Malaysia,〔 the UAE and Hong Kong.〔(First-class matches played by Kanishka Chaugai ) at CricketArchive〕 The games against the UAE and Hong Kong also counted towards the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup〔(2005 ACC Fast Track Nations Points Table )〕 and are his only first-class matches to date.〔〔 Returning to the Under-19 team, he captained Nepal Under-19s in the 2006 Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka, leading them to the Plate Championship final where they beat New Zealand.〔(Scorecard ) of Nepal Under-19s v New Zealand Under-19s, 18 February 2006 at CricketArchive〕 Chaugai had won the man of the match award in the plate semi-final where Nepal beat South Africa by 2 runs.〔(Scorecard ) of Nepal Under-19s v South Africa Under-19s, 16 February 2006 at CricketArchive〕 He most recently played for the senior side 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. Late in 2006, Kaniska Chaugai left Nepal and Nepali cricket team to seek future in the United States. His father, who was cricket administrator at that time was having financial difficulties and hence the decision. Nepalese coach Jagat Tamata regarded him as the best batsmen ever produced in non-test country. Fans felt betrayed and many say that his decision to move to the US single handedly pushed Nepali cricket back by 5 years. 〔 (Scorecard ) of Namibia v Nepal, 23 March 2006 at CricketArchive〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kanishka Chaugai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
