Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
In 2005, Wilson featured in eight Second XI matches and looked good with the bat. He was even more impressive behind the stumps, claiming 32 dismissals which included 26 catches and six stumpings. He made his international debut against India in 2007 and has played some good knocks since then.
In a match against Leicestershire in August 2010, Wilson scored his maiden First-Class century, beating his previous best score of 62. His 125 runs came off 235 balls while batting at No.6. He was part of the squad for the 2011 World Cup and it was during this tournament that he got a contract extension from Surrey. After Graeme Smith's premature departure from the club, Wilson was appointed as the captain. He showed by class by smashed an unbeaten 160 against Leicestershire.
After the arrival of Niall O'Brien, Wilson was in danger of losing his position as the wicket-keeper. However, O'Brien's differences with the coach Phil Simmons, allowed the youngster to retain his role as the wicket-keeper. He was named as the specialist wicket-keeper in Ireland's 2015 World Cup squad.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
One of Ireland's most capped players, keeper-batter Gary Wilson was part of the Ireland squad at seven major ICC events - two 50-over World Cups and five T20 World Cups - and captained the side in the T20 World Cup Qualifier in 2019, which earned them their spot in the tournament in 2021.
Although his career overlapped with those of two other keepers, Niall O'Brien and Lorcan Tucker, Wilson was also able to make it to the XI just on the strength of middle-order batting. In the 2015 World Cup, he made a 69-ball 80 in a narrow win over UAE, and a crucial 25 in a five-run win over Zimbabwe. Wilson also had a long county career, first with Surrey, for whom he scored nearly 3000 first-class runs at just under 40 and whom he also captained during two seasons, and then with Derbyshire, where he led the T20 side in the Blast.
He announced his retirement from the game in 2021, and went on to work as a coach in Ireland's inter-provincial system while also consulting with the national men's and women's teams.
