The Albion Park wicketkeeper-batter - who currently plays for the Thunder in the Women's Big Bash League - will run the session alongside Thunder men's all-rounder Chris Green at North Dalton Park on October 28. It will begin at 5pm and is open to boys and girls aged from five to 12 years.
"For us as players, whenever we get to enjoy these sorts of activities with kids, we get so much satisfaction in seeing them all having so much fun and becoming part of what we call the Thunder nation," Wilson said.
"This clinic is particularly special for me, being from the Illawarra, and I am really hopeful we can get hundreds of kids along and that, one day, some of them can go on to play for Thunder. Along with the cricket activities, we will be signing autographs and taking selfies with the kids."
