Bowls Australia selectors on Thursday named a 20-strong squad to wear gold and green for the next 12 months.
The now Queensland-based Wilkie, 41, is one of four squad members from Club Helensvale on the Gold Coast.
He was 2014 Australian lawn bowler of the year, is a multi Commonwealth Games medalist and a veteran of 130 appearances for Australian team since debuting in 2009.
Flapper, 36, now plays at Ocean Grove. He played in the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
The Jackaroos will travel to New Zealand in October to trial for the five men and five women spots available for the 2015 Asia Pacific Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand, on November 24 to December 6.
Bowls Australia will also soon release the teams selected for events such as the Merdeka International, Hong Kong Classic, New Zealand’s North East Valley Singles and Moama Pairs.
