Having played Second XI cricket for Warwickshire from 1996 to 1998,[1] Prabhu made his debut in Minor counties cricket for Herefordshire in the 1999 MCCA Knockout Trophy against the Worcestershire Cricket Board. In that same season, he made his debut in the Minor Counties Championship against Wiltshire. He played Minor counties cricket for Herefordshire from 1999 to 2002, making thirteen Minor Counties Championship appearances[2] and ten MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances.[3] He also made two List A appearances during his time at Herefordshire.[4] The first of these came against the Sussex Cricket Board at Stowe Lane, Colwall, in the 2000 NatWest Trophy. In a match which Herefordshire lost by 6 runs, Prabhu scored 24 runs in Herefordshire's unsuccessful chase, before he was dismissed by Steven Ades.[5] His second appearance in that format came against the Gloucestershire Cricket Board at The Park, Brockhampton, in the 2001 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy. In a match which Herefordshire won by 5 wickets, Prabhu wasn't required to bat in Herefordshire's successful chase.[6]
