Domestic career

Lumsden made his List-A cricket debut for Hampshire against Glamorgan on 5 August 2025 as a 16 year-old, taking the wickets of three of Glamorgan top five batsmen on debut, earning praise from Hampshire captain Nick Gubbins for the pace he showed on debut.[6][7] In his third match, he helped Hampshire reach the semi finals of the 2025 One-Day Cup with a win over Gloucestershire.[8]
