Wilson was educated at Ludgrove School. A tall, strongly-built fast bowler and tail-end batsman, early in his career he was close to Test selection, but problems with his action affected his progress. He holds an odd record, in that he was not dismissed until his 18th first-class match, by which time he had batted seven times and scored 29 runs.
