Jimmy Peirson is a right-handed batsman with an attacking approach who also keeps wicket with dependable hands. His early promise showed at youth level, where he captained Queensland in the Australian U-19 Championship and made 311 runs at an average of 58 during a title-winning campaign.

Breaking into the senior Queensland team proved a slow process. The Bulls already had an experienced gloveman in Chris Hartley, which left little room for a young keeper. That changed when Hartley's form dipped and fitness problems cost him the backing of the selectors, opening the door for Peirson to be picked for the Matador BBQs One-Day Cup in 2016.
Two years later, in 2018, he led Queensland to the Sheffield Shield and in doing so became the youngest captain from the state to lift the trophy. National recognition came in 2023 when he was named in Australia's squad for the Ashes in England, although he did not get a debut on that tour.
In the shorter format he has been a fixture near the top of the order for the Brisbane Heat, who have chosen to keep him on their books. His aggressive batting has repeatedly given the Heat quick beginnings in the powerplay, while his work behind the stumps has combined agility with consistency.
