I'm 35, not 75', tweets Sheldon Jackson after India A snub; fan asks to look at IPL performance

Sheldon Jackson, the 35-year-old batter from Gujarat, was one of the most surprising ommissions when the Indi A and West Zone Duleep Trophy squads were announced on Wednesday. Having scored, almost 2000 runs in the last three seasons, Jackson was expected to make it to at least one of the squads. However, it seems like his age went against the cricketer.

Jackson later took to Twitter to express his disappointment and also took a dig at the selectors. He wrote, “I have a right to believe and dream that if I have performed for three continuous seasons, I may get picked on the basis of my performances, not age. I am tired of hearing that I am a good player and performer but I’m old, I’m 35, not 75.”
