In October 2018, she was named in Sri Lanka's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[3] In January 2020, she was named in Sri Lanka's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[4]

In an ODI match against the West Indies in April 2010, Manodara was retired out due to her slow scoring rate in her team's innings, having taken 70 minutes and 39 balls to score 8 runs.[5]
