Wheeler made two first-class appearances for Northamptonshire in 1985 against Leicestershire at Grace Road, Leicester, and the touring Australians at the County Ground, Northampton.[2] In the match against Leicestershire he wasn't required to bat and went wicketless.[3] Against the Australians he again wasn't required to bat, but did take the wicket of Kepler Wessels (caught by Allan Lamb).[4]

After his cricket career, he has developed a successful career in sports marketing, including participation in investments in DC United (a US MLS soccer franchise) and Eintracht Frankfurt (a football team in the German Bundesliga). In 2009 he became a non-executive director of the Professional Cricketers Association (PCA). He was appointed non-executive chairman of the PCA in 2015.
