Competing with a host of international all-rounders for most of his career, Thomson has only had limited chances to shine for the Titans, but whenever the coach hands him an opportunity he is assured of 100% effort and commitment.

A useful, wicket-to-wicket seamer and a good catcher, Thomson’s hard-hitting batting has mostly come to the fore for the Titans. He was particularly effective batting in the middle-order in the CSA T20 Challenge, averaging 29.25 at a strike-rate of 150.

Thomson has represented both Easterns and Northerns and has been a consistently brilliant performer for both.
