While in India, Nambiar represented Karnataka Under-16s in the 1999/00 season. Nambiar later moved to England, where he represented Oxfordshire in a single List A match against Herefordshire at Banbury Cricket Club Ground in the 1st round of the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy, which was played later in the 2003 season to avoid fixture congestion in 2004.
