Playing career

Hool made his debut for Ireland against Scotland in May 1947 in a first-class match. Whilst it was an unsuccessful match with the bat, scoring a duck in each innings, he was successful with the ball in the Scottish second innings, taking 5/73 with his left-arm spin. He continued the year with matches against Yorkshire, the Craven Gentlemen and Derbyshire before a match at Lord's against the MCC where he took 5/19 in the only MCC innings, his best bowling figures for Ireland.

He played just four times over the following three years, against Scotland and the MCC in 1948, against Yorkshire in July 1949 and against Nottinghamshire in July 1950 before spending four years out of the Ireland team. He returned with a first-class match against Scotland in July 1954 and a match against the MCC in September, during which he scored 27 in the first innings, his highest score for Ireland.

He played just three more times for Ireland, against Scotland in June 1956, against the Free Foresters in August 1957 and against Leicestershire in May 1961.
