Wilson was one of the twenty umpires during the 2015 Cricket World Cup hosted by Australia and New Zealand.[3] He served as an on-field umpire in three matches in Australia during the tournament. A few months later, Wilson stood in his first Test match as an umpire when Bangladesh and South Africa played at Chittagong from 21–25 July 2015.[4]

In April 2019, he was named as one of the sixteen umpires to stand in matches during the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[5][6] In July 2019, Wilson was promoted to the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires following the retirement of Ian Gould and the exclusion of Sundaram Ravi.[7]

In September 2023, he was named as one of the sixteen match officials for 2023 Cricket World Cup.[8][9]
