(From Wikipeadia)

The final seasons of Jackman's Surrey career were to be among his most successful

and he played a leading role in the county reaching the final of the NatWest Trophy

in 1982, where they trounced Warwickshire by nine wickets. After playing in an ODI

for England against New Zealand in February 1983, he announced his retirement,

just one short of 400 career First Class matches, in which he took 1,402 wickets.

As a lower order batter, usually going in at 10, he also scored 17 domestic

half-centuries with a career highest score of 92 not out.

He died at his home in Cape Town on Christmas Day 2020, from lung and heart complications

having tested positive for COVID-19.

 

Jackman played four Tests and 15 One-Day Internationals for England, taking 14 Test wickets at 31.78.

After his retirement he moved to South Africa where he became

the “voice” of South African cricket commentary for two decades.
