Wiley was born at St James in Cape Town. He later travelled to England to study at Lincoln College, Oxford.[1] While at Oxford he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Gloucestershire at Oxford in 1952.[2] He made twelve first-class appearances for Oxford in 1952,[2] scoring 580 runs at an average of 27.61, with a high score of 100.[3] This score, which was his only first-class century, came against Sussex at Worthing.[4] During the 1952 season, he also played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire, making a single appearance against Berkshire in the Minor Counties Championship.[5] Returning to South Africa, Wiley made four first-class appearances for Western Province in the 1952/53 and 1953/54 seasons.[2] He later emigrated to Zimbabwe, where he died at Harare in December 1999.
