As of 1896 Abell was playing for Glenolive Cricket Club in senior cricket.[2] By 1899, after Brisbane electoral cricket was established, he was playing for Toowong representing their B team.[3]

In December 1902 Abell represented Queensland in a first-class game against New South Wales which was the first between the states since 1899. In Queensland's first innings he hit two consecutive fours before being bowled,[4] and was caught at mid-off for a duck in their second innings.[5] He was Queensland's wicket keeper and took one catch in New South Wales first innings.[6]

After his cricket career Abell settled in Granville, New South Wales. He passed away in 1960 and was survived by two sons, Cecil and Clarence, and a daughter, Winnifred.[7]
