Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Swepson had a golden run in his first two Sheffield Shield seasons, taking 17 wickets in 6 matches in his 2015/16 season. He was particularly impressive for Australia A against South Africa A and India A, bagging 14 wickets in just 3 first-class matches at an average of 19.35 including a 4/33 against the South African side and a 4/78 against the Indian side; two formidable batting line-ups.
He was lauded for his quick-arm action and his deceptive flipper which many batsmen failed to read as the ball hurried on to them.
His progressively improving bowling and his consistent performances in Shield cricket earned him a call-up to the national side when they toured India in early 2017. However, he did not get a game, as Nathan Lyon and Steve O'Keefe were preferred ahead of him. He was also called up for the Bangladesh tour in August 2017, and he was unlucky again to not make it to the playing XI.
Swepson was roped in by the Brisbane Heat for the 2015/16 Big Bash League. He has played with them for the past two seasons and has been economical with the ball conceding at a rate of 7.56 runs per over. However, he has also managed to pick up 16 wickets in 11 matches at a strike-rate of a wicket every 15 balls. These are impeccable figures for a wrist-spinner, especially in the T20 format and Brisbane Heat will be expecting him to put his best foot forward in the 7th edition of the Big Bash League.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A legspinner who can give the ball a good rip - with an increasing collection of highlight-grabbing dismissals - Mitchell Swepson was initially called into Australia's Test squad for the tour of India in early 2017 but a debut would have to wait another five years. His first selection came at a time when he had played only 14 first-class matches, but he had impressed with his wicket-taking ability in less than two full seasons of Sheffield Shield cricket.
In 2015-16, his debut Shield season for Queensland, Swepson took 17 wickets at 37.94 from six games, and he was rushed into the Australia A side for three first-class games against South Africa A and India A in 2016, collecting 14 wickets at 19.35. His development continued thereafter winning the admiration of Shane Warne through his performances for the Brisbane Heat in the BBL.
His international debut came in T20 cricket for Australia on the 2018 tour of England although that remained his only appearance for more than two years. Opportunities in Shield cricket for Queensland stalled due to the nature of the Gabba pitches but he was called up to Australia's squad for the Sydney Test against New Zealand in January 2020 as an option to partner Nathan Lyon. The following summer he took three consecutive five-wicket hauls at the start of the Shield season to cement his place in the Covid-enlarged Test squad as Lyon's understudy for the 2020-21 home series against India - a role he continued to perform the following season against England. Finally, a first cap came his way against Pakistan in Karachi when Australia employed a twin-spin attack although his early foray into Test cricket came with significant toil.
