Playing career
Wilson left a trainee accountant job in Newcastle to travel to Adelaide, where he requested a place at the Australian Cricket Academy.[2]
He emerged late in 1993–94 to make his debut for South Australia. He played 51 first-class games in all, taking 151 wickets at a healthy average of 30.77.[2]
In 2002 he moved to Western Australia where he was contracted by the Western Warriors. He played two seasons for the Warriors, retiring at the end of the 2003–04 season.[2]
After a stint in the 'A' side, Wilson was promoted to the Australian side. He played one Test Match, against India, in Kolkata, in March 1998, but had the unfortunate record of having scored neither a run, nor taken a wicket,[3] after he limped off injured in the early stages of the game. He did not represent Australia again. Before that, he had a short spell as a bowler in the ODI team, playing in 11 games, all in the 1997–98 Australian season.[2]
Coaching
Wilson served as Western Fury coach after retiring.[2]
Umpiring
Wilson is currently an umpire on the Cricket Australia Project Umpire's Panel.[2][4][5] He stood in two Twenty20 International games in 2014.[6] He stood in his first One Day International match on 8 November 2014 between Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea in Australia.[7]
He was one of the seventeen on-field umpires for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[8] He was one of the sixteen umpires to stand in matches during the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[9][10]
In September 2019, in the one-off match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, Wilson stood in his first Test match.[11][12] In February 2022, he was named as one of the on-field umpires for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[13][14]
In September 2023, he was named as one of the sixteen match officials for 2023 Cricket World Cup.[15][16]
