A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler, he made his debut for the Ireland cricket team against Scotland in July 1927 [http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CSTATZ/irelandall/ire78.htm CricketEurope Stats Zone profile] ] in a first-class match. [http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Players/13/13327/First-Class_Matches.html First-class matches played by Thomas Dixon at Cricket Archive] ] He went on to play for Ireland on 17 occasions, his last match coming in July 1932 against the MCC.

Of his matches for Ireland, eight had first-class status. In all matches for Ireland, he scored 372 runs at an average of 15.50, with a top score of 52 not out against the MCC at Lord's in July 1931. He took 79 wickets at an average of 16.95, with his best bowling figures being 7/51 on his debut against Scotland.

Prior to playing for Ireland, he played two first-class matches for Dublin University against Northamptonshire in 1926. After playing for Ireland, he moved back to India, the country of his birth, and played four first-class matches there, one for a Viceroy's XI (the Viceroy of India at the time was George Freeman-Thomas) and three for Delhi. His brother Patrick also represented Ireland at cricket.
