Personal life and club career
[edit]Jamie Nussbaumer is the son of Austrian Toni Nussbaumer, who became a hotelier and businessman in Guernsey.[4] He attended school at Elizabeth College, Guernsey.

International career
[edit]Nussbaumer was called up to the Guernsey under-19s team in 2006.[9] In 2013, he was named as the captain of Guernsey[10] and led a call for more players to participate in cricket following a decline in numbers of people playing it in Guernsey.[11] Nussbaumer captained them for four World Cricket League tournaments.[12] He continued as Guernsey captain until 2017 when he stepped down due to wishing to spend more time with his family and due to concerns he would be rested too much to be an effective captain.[13]
