During the late 1970s, when many of Australia's top cricketers were playing in World Series Cricket, Nash was considered a possibility to make the Australian side, yet by 1981 Nash's form had fallen away to the point he had been relegated to Sturt Cricket Club's B side.[3]

Nash's son Jay Nash was a South Australian cricket youth representative.[4]
