In that match, Nevill made 18 and 0 and took one catch. In March 2012, he was called up to the Australian squad during the team's tour of the West Indies, in place of Brad Haddin to tend to his sick daughter, Mia, although he did not play a game on the tour.Daniel Brettig (2012).

In April 2022, Nevill announced his retirement from cricket. Nevill was New South Wales most capped Sheffield Shield captain.
International career
Nevill was selected to go to England for the 2015 Ashes series, and made his Test debut for the second Test at Lord's after Brad Haddin made himself unavailable for selection due to family reasons.{{Cite web|title = Watson dropped, Haddin withdraws| date=14 July 2015 |url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2015/content/story/898553.html|access-date = 15 July 2015}} His baggy green cap was presented by Steve Waugh. Nevill finished with seven catches on debut, and seven dismissals overall, to be tied for second for catches overall, but an Ashes debut record.{{Cite web|title = Nevill's lesson in temperament|url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2015/content/story/901545.html|access-date = 22 July 2015}}[http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;debut_or_last=1;filter=advanced;keeper=1;orderby=caught;template=results;type=fielding;view=match Fielding records from Statsguru]
He also scored 45 runs in the first innings, just missing his first half-century on debut, however he went on to score 57 in the second innings of his third Test at Edgbaston.{{Cite web|title = Haddin to press for Ashes recall|url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2015/content/story/901063.html|access-date = 22 July 2015}}
On 9 January 2016, Nevill made his debut for Melbourne Renegades as teammate Matthew Wade, Australia's limited-overs wicket-keeper was called up for international duties. Nevill ran himself out after Adam Zampa was hit on the nose off his deflection from a shot from Dwayne Bravo, as it went on to hit the stumps.{{Cite web|title = Zampa keeps head to affect miracle run out|url = http://www.cricket.com.au/news/adam-zampa-hit-on-nose-run-out-nevill-bbl-melbourne-stars-renegades-cricket/2016-01-10/|website = cricket.com.au|access-date = 9 January 2016}}
On 9 February 2016, a day after Australia lost the Chappell-Hadlee series to New Zealand, Nevill was named as the wicketkeeper of choice for ICC World T20 after Matthew Wade was dropped for poor glovesmanship. Despite his modest batting average, it was speculated that with a deep T20 batting lineup, the side could afford a specialist wicket-keeper.{{Cite web|title = Nevill leads World T20 squad shocks|url = http://www.cricket.com.au/news/australia-world-t20-squad-twenty20-world-cup-peter-nevill-ashton-agar-matthew-wade-adam-zampa-india/2016-02-09|website = cricket.com.au|access-date = 9 February 2016}}
Batting against Sri Lanka in July 2016, Peter Nevill along with Steve O'Keefe set the record for the slowest partnership in the history of test cricket for any wicket with a scoring rate of just 0.13 for the 9th wicket (4 runs off 174 balls).{{Cite news|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/australia/australia-shatter-world-record-in-first-test-defeat/news-story/725f375abd55137ca4ddeaabd75dd176|title=Australia v Sri Lanka 2016: Stephen O'Keefe and Peter Nevill break record for slowest innings in history|date=30 July 2016|newspaper=Fox Sports|access-date=25 February 2017|language=en-GB}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-australia-2016/content/story/1040693.html|title=Sandakan creates history as left-arm spinners take stage|newspaper=Cricinfo|access-date=25 February 2017|language=en}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.cricket.com.au/news/stephen-okeefe-peter-nevill-world-record-partnership-without-scoring-runs-australia-sri-lanka/2016-07-30|title=O'Keefe, Nevill creep into record books|newspaper=cricket.com.au|access-date=25 February 2017|language=en}}
In November 2016, Nevill was dropped from the Test side after the second Test of the South Africa series and replaced with Matthew Wade. A week later he made 179* in a Sheffield Shield match.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1036391.html |title=Scorecard: Sheffield Shield, 11th Match: Tasmania v New South Wales at Hobart, Nov 26–29, 2016 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=13 January 2017}}{{cite news |url=http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/matthew-wade-v-peter-nevill-the-great-test-wicketkeeping-debate-20161129-gt082p.html |title=Matthew Wade v Peter Nevill: The great Test wicket-keeping debate |author=Cherny, Daniel |newspaper=The Age |date=30 November 2016 |access-date=13 January 2017}}
