From Australia To Cahn's XI
Jackson made his first class debut during the 1936/37 Sheffield Shield season with New South Wales.
He was brought over to Britain by Sir Julien Cahn who raised a powerful private side based at his home at Stanford Hall. Along with Jack Walsh, Jackson played non-championship matches with Leicestershire against the Australian side. He played against Oxford University the following year. He played frequently for Cahn's XI in non first class matches but played against Glamorgan and on tour against New Zealand (1938/1939) in first class matches.
He returned to Australian to appear in eight matches during the 1940/1941 season, including one in the DG Bradman's XI v YV Richardsons XI testimonial game
