When Sheldon Jackson opened up on not being picked for India

My strength, My reason FamilyMy strength, My reason Family Despite his impressive domestic numbers, the keeper-batter has never come close to national selection. In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda last month, the 35-year-old opened up about his views of not being on the selectors’ radar. He said: "To be honest, this has not happened just this year, it has been happening since the beginning. The amount of runs and the rate at which I got them, I don’t think many in the country have. If you see 75 matches and around 6000 runs, that shows what I have achieved through my hard work." Jackson added that he was deemed “old” to play for India by someone since he was 30-plus. He stated: "There has been no communication (on why I was not picked). But once I asked someone (around 2018-19 or 2019-20) what more I need to do, I was told I am old. They told me that above 30, we are not picking anyone. But ultimately, after a year, they picked someone who was around 32-33.” Jackson had an impressive 2022 Ranji Trophy season. In three matches for Saurashtra, he smashed 313 runs at an average of 78.25 with a best of 97.
