Ewen made his first-class debut for Sussex against Kent in 1839. He made five further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1843.[1] In his six first-class matches for Sussex, he scored 61 runs at an average of 6.77, with a high score of 23.[2] With the ball, he took 3 wickets, though his bowling average and best figures are unknown due to incomplete records.[3] He also made a single first-class appearance for Petworth in 1844 against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Petworth Park New Ground.[1] He ended Petworth's first-innings unbeaten on 13, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 7 runs by William Hillyer. Petworth won this low scoring match by 3 wickets.[4]

He died at Midhurst, Sussex in 1887.
