Janmohamed represented his country at Under-19 level at the 1998 Cricket World Cup, scoring 219 runs at the tournament.[2] He would play for the senior team twice during the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup following a boycott by several players, his late call-up meant he only flew into Nairobi from London on the morning of the match against Namibia.[3]

Educated at Cranleigh School in Surrey, Janmohamed also played first-class cricket for Oxford Universities, featuring in three matches against county teams in 2000.[1]

Janmohamed graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2002 with a degree in business management,[4] before going on to work in commercial roles at Cricinfo and ESPN.[5] He joined the Trustee board of the Lord's Taverners in 2021.[6][7]
