From Perth, Dixon played cricket for Western Australia at both under-17 and under-19,[1] and also represented the Australian Under-19 cricket team in five One-Day Internationals in 2009, taking three wickets.[2] A right-arm fast bowler, he made his Futures League debut for the Western Australia Under-23s in February 2010, and subsequently made his List A debut for Western Australia against Victoria in October 2010, taking a wicket with his fifth ball and finishing with 1/39 overall.[3][4] He played two more matches in the 2010–11 Ryobi One-Day Cup before making his first-class debut against New South Wales in March 2011, taking two wickets.[5]
