Nevill emerged through the Australian domestic system as a specialist wicket-keeper, establishing himself with New South Wales. His consistency behind the stumps and his ability to contribute with the bat in the middle and lower order earned him recognition as one of the leading domestic glovemen of his era.

Nevill's tenure as Australia's Test gloveman during 2015 and 2016 placed him within the lineage of Australian wicket-keepers in a transitional period for the national side. His selection during the 2015 Ashes marked a significant change in the Test team during a high-profile series.
