Career

Thompson has represented Ireland at U-19 level, playing five Youth One Day International's.[1] In 2012, Thompson was included in the Ireland squad for the 2011–13 ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Afghanistan and made his first-class debut in the match.[2] In August 2012, Thompson was included in the Ireland squad for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 tournament in Sri Lanka.[3]

In May 2018, he scored his maiden century in first-class cricket, batting for North West Warriors against Leinster Lightning in the 2018 Inter-Provincial Championship.[4] The same month, he was named in a fourteen-man squad for Ireland's first ever Test match, which was played against Pakistan later the same month.[5][6]

In the second innings of the inaugural test match he scored his first test fifty when batting at no.7, becoming only the second Irish player after Kevin O'Brien to score a test fifty during the same match, eventually where O'Brien went onto score a test hundred.[9] He also notched a 114 runstand with Kevin O'Brien during the Ireland's second innings to uplift the team from an innings defeat after being forced to follow on.[10]
