Said after defeat

He scored 14 and 27 runs in his last match against Gujarat.
Could never get a chance in Team India
Jackson made his first class cricket debut in 2011 for Saurashtra. With his brilliant performance, Saurashtra made it to the final of the tournament for the first time in the 2012-13 Ranji season. On the basis of his brilliant performance in domestic cricket, Jackson was selected in the India A team for the West Indies tour. He also played an important role in Saurashtra becoming Ranji Champion in 2015-16. Jackson said goodbye to limited overs cricket last month. He scored 2792 runs in 84 innings in List A. Sheldon Jackson’s first class career was quite long but he was one of the unfortunate cricketers who never got a chance to play for Team India.
