He played all three of Uzbekistan's games in the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt conceding six goals. Despite finishing third in Group D, the one point gained wasn't enough for Uzbekistan to advance to the knock-out rounds. Kuvvatov played against England under-21s on 10 August 2010 at Ashton Gate. Despite England having nearly all of the possession and taking an abundance of shots, the score was kept down to just 2–0, primarily because of Kuvvatov's shot-stopping.[2]
