The 32-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has played 66 first-class matches, scoring 4,825 runs at an average of 49.23 with a high score of 181 not out. He has 16 hundreds and 24 half-centuries to his name.
He has also taken 48 catches and two stumpings in first-class cricket.
Sheldon Jackson made his debut for Saurashtra in December 2011. In the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy season, he made four fifties and three hundreds, including back-to-back tons in the quarter-final and semi-final against Karnataka and Punjab respectively, to help Saurashtra qualify for the final for the first time.
However, this Ranji Trophy season has been the best yet for Sheldon Jackson. He was Saurashtra's highest run-getter this season with 854 runs in 11 matches at an average of 47.44, including two centuries and seven fifties.
Jackson's form was instrumental in Saurashtra reaching the Ranji final again but it wasn't to be as Vidarbha became only the sixth team in history to successfully defend a Ranji Trophy title.
