At the end of the 2006 cricket season, Doshi signed a two-year contract with Surrey, which was to end after the 2008 season. On 19 July 2007, Surrey announced that this contract had been terminated at Doshi's request.[1]

Doshi then signed a short-term deal with Warwickshire until the end of the 2007 season.[2] Doshi was due to make his debut in Warwickshire's County Championship match against Sussex on 8 August that year. However, he was unable to do so owing to confusion surrounding the registration process.[3]

Doshi was the first bowler in the Twenty20 Cup to take a hat-trick and still finish on the losing side.[4] Nayan Doshi became the oldest player in IPL auction 2021 after Pravin Tambe, who was the oldest at the IPL auction 2020.[5]
