Career

Nash played 257 matches for Middlesex in both first-class and List A cricket as a wicket-keeper and right-handed batsman.

He became Middlesex's first choice wicket-keeper following the retirement of Keith Brown in 1998. Injury limited his appearances during Middlesex's 2004 and 2005 seasons, when Ben Scott assumed his wicket-keeping role. He was awarded a Benefit in 2007, following his service to the club. He is currently the county club's eighth most prolific wicketkeeper in first-class cricket.

Nash first played in the English cricket team at Under-14 level and he also represented the England Under-19 team in 12 Tests and 7 ODIs. However, despite touring with the England A team (playing twice), he never received full international recognition.
