Thomson played for Services while serving in the Indian Navy. He was a middle-order batsman and occasional off-spin bowler. His only century was the 130 he scored against Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy in 2002–03. He went to the wicket with the score at 100 for 5, and was last out when the score was 372.[1] His highest score in List A cricket was 61 not out in Services' victory over Jammu and Kashmir in 1998–99, when nobody else on either side reached 30.[2]
After leaving the navy in 2013, Thomson began coaching cricket in Andhra Pradesh. He is now the chief coach of the Andhra cricket team.
