Even before he made his first-class debut,Nadeem was seen as the next big left-arm slow bowler. He has a classical,flowing lefty's action,is naturally inclined to bowl round the wicket to right-hand batsmen,and has the boldness to experiment with varying degrees of loop. In addition,he is an athletic fielder and a fixture at point for his state and the East Zone team. He came into the reckoning with a nine-wicket haul against Sikkim in an Under-15 game in 2002. His first-class debut earlier this season was impressive,but he found himself under the hammer against Australia in the Under-19 one-dayers,and played only one match in the Under-19 World Cup.

[10] [11] He also took hatrick wickets while achieving that feat. He was the leading wicket-taker in the tournament,with twenty-four dismissals in nine matches. [12]

In October 2018,he was named in India's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against the West indies,but he did not play. [17] In October 2019,he was added to India's squad for the third Test match against South Africa,as cover for Kuldeep Yadav.
