Callum Frederick Jackson (born 7 September 1994) is an English cricketer who plays as a wicket-keeper most recently for Sussex. After making two Twenty20 appearances for Sussex a few days earlier, Jackson made his first-class debut in a three-day match against the touring Australians on 26 July 2013.
Born in Eastbourne, Jackson made his way up through the Sussex youth ranks, playing at under-13, under-14, under-15 and under-17 level before joining the second XI as a 16-year-old in 2011. He made his first appearance for the Sussex first XI on 1 May 2012 in a non-first-class match against the Leeds/Bradford MCC Universities team.
In early 2013, Jackson was selected for the England under-19s' tour of South Africa,[1] where he played in both Test matches and the middle three ODIs in a five-match series, as well as in the two-innings warm-up match against a Western Cape Invitation XI.
With Sussex's first-choice wicket-keeper, Matt Prior, on England duty in the 2013 Ashes series and regular back-up Ben Brown injured with a broken finger,[2] Jackson made his competitive debut for the club in a Friends Life t20 match against the Essex Eagles on 21 July 2013. Although he did not bat and Sussex lost by seven wickets, he made an impression by stumping Greg Smith, Hamish Rutherford and Ravi Bopara for Sussex's only wickets of the match.[3]
In December 2015, Jackson was released by Sussex due to financial cutbacks at the club.[4]
