Saurashtra wicket-keeper batsman Sheldon Jackson has denied his career in domestic cricket. According to reports, it is learned that the right-hander has retired from white-ball cricket but will continue to play red-ball cricket for the team.
Sheldon Jackson has been an incredible servant to Saurashtra in domestic cricket, and it is fair to say that he is one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen in domestic Indian cricket. The right-hander retired on Friday (January 3) at the age of 38.
Sheldon Jackson made his List A cricket debut against Baroda
Jackson made his List A cricket debut against Baroda at the Moti Bagh Stadium in Vadodara. And after that he turned into a legend for Saurashtra. He played 86 50-over matches and scored 2792 runs at an average of 36.25, including 14 half-centuries and nine centuries.
Jackson also staggered with his gloves behind the stumps. He has affected 51 shutouts in the format, which includes 42 catches and nine stumpings. His absence from the team will no doubt leave a big void in the squad.
Sheldon Jackson has also been decent with the bat in T20 cricket. Goalkeeper-striker 1812 plays in 80 games. This also includes his runs during his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League, where he played nine games.

Jackson played a magnificent innings of 133 off 136 balls against Maharashtra to help his team win the tournament. However, he will now be ready to give his best for the team in the second round of the Ranji Trophy.
He has been a stalwart for Saurashtra in the longer format of the game. Sheldon Jackson, who recently played his 100th first-class match, has amassed 7187 runs in 103 matches at an average of 46.36. He also smashed 21 tons and 38 fifties.
