He played his best years of cricket while at university, passing 1,000 runs in the season during three of his four years there. After graduating from university, he joined the Sudan Political Service and missed the 1938 cricket season entirely. He was only available for Somerset during periods of leave thereafter, often playing for around four to six weeks. In 1948, he was one of three players to captain Somerset when the county struggled to appoint anyone on a permanent basis. He played his last first-class matches in 1949.

collecting 92 points, including five wins. Batting was identified as
Somerset's weakest area in both 1947 and 1948; Mitchell-Innes' batting average of 22.20 placed him sixth in the county averages in 1948. The following year, Woodhouse took over as Somerset captain full-time. Mitchell-Innes was once again available for the first few weeks of the season, playing seven matches. He finished near the bottom of Somerset's batting averages, having scored 157 runs at 11.21; the second-lowest average of his career.

In the second innings, he fared a little better, scoring 29 runs to help Oxford to a seven wicket victory; their only win in the university match during Mitchell-Innes' time at Oxford. He topped the batting averages for Oxford once again, scoring his 630 runs at an average of 57.27.

During this season, Mitchell-Innes had his most effective spell as a bowler, taking 22 wickets for Oxford at an average of 26.27, but Bolton described the team's bowling performances as unremarkable.
836:. There was no obvious replacement for Meyer; like many counties Somerset would not consider having a professional captain, and finding an amateur with the time and money to lead the side was proving troublesome. So, with no single candidate suitable, the Somerset committee announced that the club would be captained first by Mitchell-Innes during his leave from the Sudan, then Seamer during his own leave. Once both of these had returned to their duties,

In a review of their cricket side in July 1933, The Sedberghian says of Mitchell-Innes that "such cricketers seldom come this way", praising his consistency, fielding and captaincy, though it does note that his off drive often failed to score him boundaries, and that his bowling lacked accuracy at times.
